2:00 the crew chief? runs out in front of the (moving) taxing P38 to kick the front landing gear (damper) and make it work, then backs away for him to continue taxing.
Talk about a Brave? or Darwin Award.. Pilot had no communication with him, lost sight as he ran in front of the prop and under the nose, kicking solves the problem :lol:
Greatest Generation...wouldn't see a Millennial try that, they would have been filming it for the web.
Really neat footage
