If this rumor is true, I think that this is the best move for the CAF. The P-82 would be in better hands in an organization with deeper pockets and less diversified interests. Also, P-82's are not really a WW2 aircraft, whereas a P-38 is one of the US's best wartime fighters. It is also my understanding that the P-38 White Lightning is owned by Lefty Gardner and not the CAF. The CAFs P-38 crashed in TX in 1994 and has been in storage since. A new P-38 would suit the CAFs mission and goals very well.
