Actually it's Blythe Ca. Lol just flat desert for miles. Yes, that is a P-38 in the background. It was at the Pima Air Museum then traded to a Museum in France. Sadly while in France it was lost in a hanger fire.

Now why does that P-38 scream Prone Pilot conversion to me ? 

Great pics, thanks for posting

I'm curious, is that a transitional color scheme or new paint on some parts and old paint on others?

Donation parts from other aircraft were quite common in the paint scheme transistion time of the USN - switching the outer wings was a frequent measure. I have also seen pics of similar F9F Panther/Cougar hybrids, but with a complete blue tail section on an NMF or grey/white aircraft.
