FINALLY saw a P-38 fly

In your P-38 aviation video (Start-Up) the two props are spinning in the
same direction.

I've watched that quite a few times now, and I think this must be some kind of
optical illusion. If you freeze the display when one of the right prop blades is
vertical and above the wing, it appears to be in line with the camera. That is
consistent with the prop rotating clockwise as viewed from behind. If you freeze
the display when one of the left prop blades is vertical and *below* the wing,
it appears to be in line with the camera. That is consistent with the prop
rotating counter-clockwise.

The 2004 publicity shot I posted earlier also seems to have counter-rotating props.

Because she smells like a new truck.
