Danza: the show I saw might have been another, or found the program partly over.

But I was fortunate enough to see the first flight of the P-38 (known to the Luftwaffe as the 'fork-tailed devil', 'Gabelschwanz Teufel'), nicknamed 'Glacier Girl' on tv, where a well-known pilot who races WW2 planes took it up for a short test flight. The thousands of hours spent in renovation alone are mind-boggling. The flight was in upstate New York, in front of a large crowd of fans.

To fly the ( twin-engine) Mosquito would be just as exciting.
