Temnac P-38G Lightning, Military aircraft at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, United States.

The Lockheed P-38G Lightning, serial number 42-13400, rests on permanent display after extensive restoration work at the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska.

Originally assigned to the 54th Fighter Squadron in 1942, this aircraft crash-landed in the Temnac River valley on Attu Island during a training mission in January 1945.

The aircraft represents a significant example of World War II military aviation technology and stands as a testament to American aerospace engineering capabilities.

Visitors can observe the restored P-38G Lightning at 10551 Sijan Avenue in Anchorage, within the grounds of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson military installation.

Air Force veterans recovered the aircraft hulk in 1999 from its original crash site, where it remained abandoned for over five decades before restoration.
