Found this while searching for airplanes on the Georgia State University archive:

Too bad the serial isn't quite readable. Fully zoomed in the last three digits look like 607 or 807.

Great find! The gear cover has 007 on it, but whether that's related to the serial....

Agreed, fantastic find... the companion shot of the guys around the T-33 is also very nice. Well spotted!

Landing gear cover numerals often were the last 3 on ANG birds. It might be the EAA's Paul I, 44-75007. If so that would be quite a find.

It is 007 and they are related. I have another shot of this P-51, as soon as I find it again. And here's a related thread as well.
