Can anyone comment on the F-82's condition? Most of the web pictures are longer range shots, and tough to tell. Is she stripped inside?

I can't address the condition of the inside, but I do know the props are not airworthy due to corrosion. The CAF was allowed to swap the bad props on the -82 they got with the good props that this one had.

Its amazing, the Air Force takes the CAF's F-82 away from them but then leaves the one at Lackland on outside display. Something is wrong with this picture.

Within 15 years the scrapman will be coming for these WW2 era planes if they are still on display outside.
