04/30/2009. Remarks by
Johan Visschedijk: "Originally produced as a P-39-5-BE, this aircraft was converted into the first TP-39Q two-seat trainer by extending the fuselage forward to include a seat instead of the armament.

The image at the top of the page has been heavily retouched as the original above shows the tail code 220024, and a large building in front of which the aircraft is parked.

Later this aircraft also carried the code
"V-99" on the forward fuselage."
