Looks like it was a fairly well-kept outdoor display in a dry climate - any issues that aren't showing?

No more than you'd expect. It's in real good shape and complete. We've had it for years, and have been collecting any missing pieces-parts. Looks like we'll be able to make it a real nice display to go next to our f-84F.Chris Brame wrote:Looks like it was a fairly well-kept outdoor display in a dry climate - any issues that aren't showing?

Almost done. 
Should be out of the paint shop and on display in a few weeks.

^^ THAT ^^ did not happen, LoL. We had more than a few issues with it but we figured them out. It took us quite a while to put it together.

Sadly when the F-84C, F-86H, T-33, and F-101 were removed from the airpark in 2013 only the F-84C and F-86H found homes. The T-33 was sent to the range and the F-101 was scrapped.
Glad the F-84 is being well cared for.

Looking very nice! How complete is the cockpit? Will the canopy be clear again?

Yes, the canopy is clear again.
The cockpit is absent. This is a recovered gate guard and it is literally a hollow shell. The canopy is permanently sealed as there is no reason to ever open it again.
