Lockheed P-38L-5-LO
Lightning N25Y
(c/n 8509)
Previously 44-53254. Another shot of mine of this aircraft
appears on Ron Dupas site at:

However, the above image, taken at Van Nuys, pre-dates it by some
thirty years, whilst
it was on the strength of
the Confederate Air Force. A forced landing in a cotton
field
in Greenwood, MS, in
2001 left the aircraft badly damaged. I do not know
whether it
has been (or
will be) rebuilt.
