I saw this in storage at the Olympia airport last year. It was in a hangar with two other Cobras.

Does it fly?

And not to nit-pick or state the obvious, if it's from the Vietnam Flight Museum, it's a bit young for that war. :)

Yes, it is airworthy. It flew to Gaveston a couple of weeks ago. The data plaque at the museum indicates this was a trainer version and never saw action in Vietnam.
