Regardless an F model has no business being on outside display. Give her to a good flying museum. :wink:

What does giving it to a flying museum have to do with anything? Like I said the POF is a flying museum and it is wose shape than the F model. I agree it needs to come inside, but a museum like MAPS would be a great place for it.

Doesn't look too bad for an outdoor display; has anyone seen the inside - gutted, I imagine? My big quibble is the Helvetica-style font used for the tail number.

Speaking of serials, Mustangdriver, I think you have an extra digit in your signature!
