10/31/2011. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "Produced for the USAAF as a P-38L-5-LO with s/n 44-26981, the fighter was subsequently converted to an F-5G photo reconnaissance aircraft. Since it has had at least twenty different owners and five registrations, first was NX53752 on May 10, 1946, subsequently N53752, CF-GCH, N5596V, and the latest was N7723C on June 10, 2005. It has had four serious mishaps, and in 1990 it was fitted with a fighter nose."
