Converted to a P-80A-1 using the Fox 3 conversion set.
A P-80A-1 using the Fox 3 conversion set and decals for Lil' Abner, a plane
flown by Rex Barber (who shared credit with Thomas Lanphier for shooting
down Yamamoto's Betty). Later P-80's had a black panel on the nose in
place of the landing light that covered a radio direction finder
antenna. The P-80A-1 cockpit was 9 inches further aft than later
P-80's with ejection seats. Early P-80's were not built with ejection seats
although many were later retrofitted with them.
