Lockheed P-38 Lightning “Jandina III”, Thursday, July 24, 2025 10 am
The P-38 Lightning was a top fighter of WWII, with over 10,000 built in 18 versions. P-38 pilots flew 130,000 sorties across all theaters. In the Pacific, they shot down more Japanese aircraft than any other fighter. In Europe, P-38s captured 90% of aerial photos. Colonel Ben Kelsey described the plane as “fly like hell, fight like a wasp, land like a butterfly.” First Lieutenant Jay T. Robbins flew P-38s in New Guinea with the 80th Fighter Squadron, known as the Headhunters, aiding B-25 attacks and rescuing downed airmen. Robbins’s first combat was in January 1943, and he shot down 22 fighters in 181 missions, earning the title of Quadruple Ace. His aircraft, Jandina III, suffered a nosewheel failure in 1944, prompting a wheels-up landing. Abandoned for 45 years, it was recovered in 1999, restored in Australia and the U.S., and now flies again to honor Robbins and the Headhunters.
