Re: Lightning 44-23725

Hi
It was originally a P-38J-25-LO, but was converted to F-5E.

Most likely 23725 was a F-5E-3-LO,( unless anyone knows otherwise)

As the serials in the batch before and after 23725 were this type,

Incidently the next a/c, 23726 was also converted from P38-J to F-5E

An interesting history 23725 was eventually used by luftwaffe

cheers
Jerry
