General Dynamics F-111D Aardvark/68-0092
    MSN: A6-08
    Delivered to United States Air Force
    Transferred to AMARC as FV0097 May 26, 1992.
    Transferred to Aircraft Restoration and Marketing, Tucson, July 11, 2001.
    For USS Saratoga Museum, North Kindstown, RI

I know the Saratoga Museum never happened. Anybody know the fate of 68-0092? I assum it was scrapped.

OOF! that will take more than a little work to restore for display - probably a parts plane now. . .

Thanks everyone, I have updated the forgotten Jets entry and as it survived military service it now has a registry entry.
