Taxiing past in pre-production livery at Flying Legends 2011. This final production s/n 44-53254 Lightning was built as a P-38L-5-LO at Burbank in 1944 which was similar to the late production P-38J, but powered by 1,600 hp Allison V-1710-F30R or -F30L engines. The aircraft was converted at the Dallas Modification Center in 1945 to an F-5G-6-LO Photo Lightning with a redesigned nose housing forward oblique, K-17 oblique and K-18 vertical cameras. It was sold into private hands after the war, modified as a racer and went to different owners. The aircraft was sold to Flying Bulls in 2004.
