Klai you should check out the CT Aerospace Museum at my airfield they got a bunch of old helicopters and they’re restoring a FG1D Corsair 

Oddly enough I’ve never been to the factory… even though I grew up in Stratford. Our company was the main repair station for all their commercial aircraft (S76 and the S92). Once Lockheed Martin bought Sikorsky, they sold our side of the company to Flexjet (because Lockheed just does military). Now we’re like the Uber for billionaires. But I heard there’s talks of maybe Raytheon buying out Sikorsky. But that’s all just gossip in my book until I actually see changes. If Raytheon buys Sikorsky it’d be cool because they’ll probably start up the commercial side again.

I got the chance to tour your factory a few years ago in Stratford.  And the museum above the factory floor.  Was a huge thrill.
 

Not yet Vonrd. Still just an old grease monkey. 

Good evening jagdeschwader 1,
It’s been a while since I took to the skies with my old squad mates. Life hit hard but all in good ways. Got my A&P license and currently maintain a fleet of Sikorsky helicopters. Second kid came along. Blah blah blah. That being said, I’m looking to get back into the skies. Eventually back into fixed wings (miss my old dreidecker)… but my career has a strong hold onto my rotorcraft brain. I upgraded my VR and just got my AH64D Apache collective from VIRPIL in the mail today. I’ve been mainly flying DCS in the Apache and the Huey. Seldomly the Hind and I have theChinook but still waiting for them to perfect the flying bus. My little crumb snatchers go to bed at 21:00 est. So I’m usually hopping into the sims around then. Would like to get some wingmen up there with me. Hope to see you soon.

Playing with my Junk...er

Definitely gonna try for a spot in the restoration department after my airframe and powerplant certifications are stored away

Took a trip to Old Rhinebeck this weekend. Nerded out with the chief mechanics and got up close and personal with the Fokker DVII

i saw the call for JG1 recruits from Hotlead today. figured i'd post my paint scheme for my flying razor... just in case a new skin pack is in the near future. Airframe and Powerplant training is real fun and challenging! Now that i'm back in the groove of things, i'll be back in the air with you guys!
 
Salute!!!
See you in the skies

Thanks Goat!
We haven't started on a new paint pack yet.  But due to Roster changes and new aircraft, this is a project that's definitely on the horizon.
I just grabbed it.

So the Flying Goat has new skins for Angry Circus?   😂   Just messin' with ya, bud   😁

Would you be able to make one for @Karl Spackler (Trev)?  No idea what his personal emblem is, but he's 415 in Schmenkel.
Actually, he's a huge Van Halen fan, so maybe something based on the Frankenstrat?

So recently I remember my grandfather’s best friend and next door neighbor flew P38s and P39s in the war. His name was Joseph B. Maley. He was a part of the 32nd Air Operations “the spitting wolfhounds.” So I started diving deep into Internet searching and to my surprise, I found an AWESOME picture of him posing on his P38 “Shanty Irish”. Was wondering if anyone could help me out with finding markings or paint colors? Seeing I only have one black and white photo, I feel like there’ll be a lot of guessing. But would love to recreate it and fly it in his honor. I feel bad that I was too young at the time to really appreciate talking to him and can only wish to be able to pick his brain about his time in aviation.

Here is a better photograph:

I can't find a lot on the 32nd Fighter Squadron, 36th Fighter Group. I don't have a ton of books on Allied fighter squadrons.  I did find this, however:

We also know that the 32nd Fighter Squadron transitioned to the P-38 in 1945, but VE day cut their operational use short.

Based on the picture you have above, it looks like the nacelles are olive drab.  The nose tip is probably yellow.  And the aircraft would not have invasion stripes on it, as it's early 1945.
Honestly, it's probably similar looking to this P-38L:


Unfortunately, it's just not possible to get specifics without a more complete photograph.
For example, I have no idea what the unit markings were like, either on the boom tails or on the vertical stabilizers.
Hopefully that helps!
