Flying Iron Lockheed P-38L Lightning - Flying Bulls livery
(from the Flying Bulls Homepage)
The only P-38 in Europe, and one of the only ones that is still being used, is owned by the Flying Bulls and can be found in Hangar 7 in Salzburg. It is one of the most treasured exhibition pieces and brightens the entire Hangar with its perfectly polished skin. More than four years had to pass until the perfectly restored P-38 was finally shipped from the United States to Hamburg in one piece. On May 10th, it moved into the Hangar 7 where it can still be admired today.
Today it can be said that the Flying Bulls’ P-38, registered N25Y (an American registration), is one of the most beautiful and well-maintained Lightnings worldwide – a graceful aircraft both on the ground and in the air. Its twin Allision V-12 reciprocating engines with turbochargers allow the almost 8 ton aircraft to reach 670 km/h and a height only modern jets can normally reach. The P-38 is unique in all aspects and considered a unique beauty by many admirers.
In addition with Version 3 I added AIRPAC1's great refurbished cockpit. Many thanks to AIRPAC1 for letting me use his cockpit mod.

The download is showing in my Community folder but does not appear in the sim. What could be the problem?

Can't say. Just to make sure: you are aware this is only a livery and you own the plane by Flying Iron?

Very nice! Thank you!
This plane used to be Lefty Gardner’s (http://warbird.com/lefty.html) and he flew it in many airshows, paced and raced at Reno, as “White Lightning” before a crash landing in a field damaged it. It was restored and sold to Red Bull. It’s an L but Lefty put early chins (F model?) on the nacelles and removed the turbos. I paid $5 to sit in it at Reno and had a chance to talk with Lefty. Too fun!
That plane has a very long and illustrious history and was always easy to spot at airshows and Reno. The white paint was beautiful too. Not sure but I bet Red Bull kept the N25Y registration as tribute to Lefty.
