N25Y was not owned by the CAF. It was owned by
Lefty Gardner. IIRC, it was recently sold, still
unrepaired.

It was on loan to them at one time, IIRC.

One thing I have wondered is why when the model
was a P-38L did it have the earlier style intakes?

Lefty was one of the founders of the CAF and thus his P-38 was displayed at
most CAF events.
