This is the AV2025 WW II Grand Champion: P-38J 'Jandina III' 42-103988 (N988J). Thanks to Ezell Aviation of Breckenridge (TX) this freshly restored Lockheed Lightning graces the skies since 25 June 2025. On that day Lockheed P-38J 42-103988 (c/n 2822) made its first post restoration flight flown by Kevin Eldridge, from their facilities. The Lightning, named 'Jandina III', is owned by the Flying Heritage and Combat Armor Museum. It was ferried to Oshkosh by Eldridge, but not flown in display.
