Description
I shot this photo at the 2012 Oshkosh Air Show. Depicted is an A-10 Warthog (gray), and Glacier Girl (green), a P-38 Lightning that was lost in a glacier in Greenland, July 1942, and recovered from the ice in 1992. Glacier Girl was one of six P-38s and two B-17s to be on one of the first missions to try to get American warplane fighters to the European theater. Bad weather over Greenland forced this P-38 to land, her crew rescued and her body encased in ice until its recovery in 1992.
