    Icon22 “Ducks” give a Lightning a lift...

    Good morning,

    Yet another interesting pic...a P-38 getting a lift to shore by a couple of DUKWs, probably somewhere in either the Med or the Pacific.

    Insert your caption below...

    Dirty,

    I was actually thinking along the lines of it being a great platform to water-ski behind, except the prop wash would be a b*tch.

    Looks like there is a sign hanging off the canopy. Perhaps " Do NOT start engines under any circumstance".
