New from MilViz is a modernised version of the popular P-38 WWII combat aircraft for FSX and P3D. This MilViz Redbull Redux model is REALLY fun to fly... With all the modern conveniences of GPS, you wont get lost out on the battlefield (virtual airshows) either. It's vintage military aviation with a modern feel, and the two work together perfectly to deliver a unique virtual flying experience. Plus, you have the confidence of knowing you are buying a quality product as it carries the respected MilViz name.

A new aircraft in the Flying Bulls’ stable It set new standards in military aviation and was hugely popular in the US Air Force: the Lockheed P-38 Lightning.

In the Second World War, the fighter bomber was noted not only for its tri-fuselage construction, but also for its highly successful missions.

More than 70 years after they were created, there are only a few P-38s still taking majestically to the skies – and since the beginning of March 2009, one of them has its home in Salzburg. (credit: Hangar-7)

Milviz P-38 Civilian Redbull Redux
The best preserved P-38 in the world lead a hard life until lovingly restored to gleaming perfection for the world famous energy drink.

September, 1945 saw P-38 F-5G-6-LO, serial number 44-53254 dismissed from the Air Force and registered as civil aircraft. Finding its way to Houston in the hands of J.D. Reed, an air racing enthusiast who worked to further optimise the speed of the plane. He recruited passionate pilots, including Charlie “Firewall” Walling who achieved 2nd place at the 1947 Miami Air Races.

In 1963 when the P-38 fell into the hands of flying legend Marvin “Lefty” Gardner who, inspired by the former colours of the Confederate Air Force, opted for a striking white colour bearing the nickname “White Lightning”. Lefty was born to be both a mechanic and a pilot and is immortalised for the Reno National Championship Air Races. He attended for decades and there were days he won 2 out of 3 races. His greatest strength was Precision Aerobatics. However, in 2001 the White Lightning was struck down by an engine in flames, Lefty’s son Ladd escaped by the skin of his teeth and managed to bring the plane down in a cotton field in Mississippi. The white plane was now black and with substantial damage.

8 years later following a comprehensive restoration at Ezell Aviationit the plane looked as if it just left the factory floor, a metallic gleam perfects the form of the double cantilever body, modern avionics and systems complete the rebuild.

The P-38 Civilian is one of the fastest warbird modifications out there. At 337 Mph at under 12,000ft, it's fast. Plenty fast!

We've redone the codebase, had Bernt Stolle do a new FDE and reworked the VC to be at todays standards!
