N5596V sometime prior to May 24, 1971. Actually the picture is hard to place because of the apparent lack of anti glare panel paint visible in the picture.
44-26996 accepted April 45, F-5G-6-LO to N53752 to CF-GCH with Spartan.
Wrecked May 24, 1971 and then rebuilt over a long time by John Silberman with new nose, convertd to fighter nose later on.

Note how the rudders are painted to reflect the 19 stripes in the U.S. flag - hey, wait a minute...

Is the yellow plane a Howard? Any idea or other photos of the 5 wheel convertable?

I remember one that crashed at Salt Lake City airport mid 70s and I remember one of the only surviving parts was a vertical with the rudder attached painted just like that. could that be it?
could that be it?

Sweet 
I take my ponys like my elephants...Pink and they better be Pretty 
Was 44-53186 the P-38 that flew in formation with Minn Air Guard F-89s and T-33s (Earliest Heritage Flight??) in May 1955 for the Richard Bong Memorial dedication?

Not trying to doubt Jack here, but are we sure the P-38 isn't in fact N9957F in the colors it wore while at Tallmantz? The only photos I have seen of N505MH at Reno shows it in either civilian clothing with N505MH in large letters on the boom, or plain metal with nothing on it.

I always feel so left out. I never guess these things. Need to buy more books, don't I?
