I think that is all that you would be interested in.

There is a "1970 CANADAIR CF-5A “FREEDOM FIGHTER” on a pole there, but they don't list any info and I couldn't find any.

Can any Vultee experts chime in with a USAAF serial for this? The highest MSN I could find on the Baugher list was 79-1366/42-90369; if the MSNs stayed sequential from there it would be 42-90685, but that serial doesn't seem to tie in with any that Baugher has listed as SNV-2 conversions. I'm guessing there was a break in the MSNs somewhere?
