@Sunnyskies well i didn't know that thank you for the information
The "Red Bull" P-38 is actually heavily modified from its origin as F-5G-6-LO 44-53254. It never saw combat, and was born into the surplus market at the end of the war. It spent the majority of its life as a racing plane, and has gone faster (officially) than any other P-38. From then to now, it underwent many modifications, and differs significantly from the original factory airframe specifications. It was nearly lost in 2001 after crash-landing following an engine failure. It currently resides in Austria. It's officially listed as a P-38L, but I consider it its own unique plane due to its countless mods and restorations. Also, this P-38 NEVER had guns. It was originally supposed to be a photo-reconnaissance plane.
