And you forgot about the F-5 which was a converted P-38E itself. And
you missed the F-4 which was an earlier version. And it was left out
the latest which is the P-38M which was introduced almost at the end
of the Pacific War. Everyone uses the F-4/P-38A-L for reference.
But not one single reference to the demise of the F-5 and the P-38M.

Excellent quote for ONE unit.

Hmm, I wonder exactly who this character is since he's sounding might
close to one of your bunches type of posting. Now, find me the real
INFO on the demise of the F-5 and the P-38M instead of quoting where
one Unit upgraded to the F-6.

Thank you for that little part. Now I know who it is. Not exactly
who but what bunch he is a sock of. But let's analizy it a bit. The
spelling is off. Yours rarely is. Redpuke just showed up and he
mispells like a banshee. That would make it redpuke then.

Another case of the 404thk00ks using socks to appear to be right and
a larger group than they really are. You people could have left that
off and might have gotten away with it. But it didn't work. You
404thk00ks just played the 404thk00k card which is right up there
with the Hitler card. That ends all discussions.

Tinkerbell, I knew your bunch couldn't help yourself.

Thank you for playing bowling for dummies. After you put your ball
up you can pick up your crappy parting gifts on your way out the
door.
