Glacier Girl :) She was part of a P-38 Squadron that left from a very small airport. The Presqu'Isle, Maine airport to be exact. I've flown from and to that airport many times. Being from Edmundston, NB, that was the closest airport for us. It was about 1 hr away, once your crossed the international bridge :)
There are pictures of Glacier Girl in the airport itself.

Thanks for sharing.
We lived in Clear Lake City for several years and this was always a good airshow!
