They were taken all over the airport but Addison(ADS) is home to the http://www.cavanaughflightmuseum.com/
The p38 had just been flown in for this weekend "War Birds over Addison"
I had to grab the Pilot & get him on a private jet that was waiting w/ engines running.
a little history of this p38:
On 15 July 1942, due to poor weather and limited visibility, Glacier Girl's squadron was forced to make an emergency landing in Greenland en route to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Isles during http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Bolero. All crew members were subsequently rescued. However, Glacier Girl, along with the unit's five other P-38 fighters and two http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-17 bombers, was eventually buried beneath 260 feet of ice due to decades of blowing snow and drifting glaciers. Fifty years later, in 1992, the plane was brought to the surface by members of the Greenland Expedition Society after years of searching and excavation. The aircraft was eventually transported to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middlesboro,_Kentucky, where it was restored to flying condition
