I think some people are confusing Steve's first trip to Kentucky to size up the plane as the supposed 'first flight'. From what I recall in the documentary, there were some initial engine runs and maybe some fast taxiing. No air under the wings though as I remember.
Now that the P.O.F. P-38 has a beautiful new olive drab scheme, I'd sure love to see the two of these aircraft greet each other on the tarmac during the P.O.F's midwest tour! :):)
