Vtol forward= Flaps AG1 and Vtol forward= gear The Lockheed P-38 Lightning is a World War II–era American piston-engined fighter aircraft. Developed for the United States Army Air Corps, the P-38 had distinctive twin booms and a central nacelle containing the cockpit and armament. Allied propaganda claimed it had been nicknamed the fork-tailed devil (German: der Gabelschwanz-Teufel) by the Luftwaffe and "two planes, one pilot" by the Japanese. Along with its use as a general fighter, the P-38 was utilized in various aerial combat roles including as a highly effective fighter-bomber, a night fighter, and as a long-range escort fighter when equipped with drop tanks. The P-38 was also used as a bomber-pathfinder, guiding streams of medium and heavy bombers; or even other P-38s, equipped with bombs, to their targets. Used in the aerial reconnaissance role, the P-38 would account for 90 percent of the aerial film captured over Europe.

How many points do you need for gold? I can help get you there. You are at 1,900 now. @Cobrahuey
It’s the points there’s bronze, silver(that’s me), gold, and then platinum.@KnightOfRen
What's platinum? @Cobrahuey
I’m not platinum, I’m mobile, my builds are decent. So, I probably wouldn’t make enough money@KnightOfRen
That's disappointing. It seems like you were destined to do great on SP. @Cobrahuey
I wouldn’t make enough to buy a plane@KnightOfRen
Great! You really are great at this! Too bad you can't get paid to be a professional SP builder! You would do great! @Cobrahuey
Yup! It flew like I never built it lol.@KnightOfRen
