Other than the FH-1 at the National Air and Space Museum, and the one at the National Museum of Naval Aviation, are there any other FH-1's left?

The Wings of Eagles Museum(ex: Natonal Warplane Museum) in Elmyra, NY, has an FH-1 on display along with a Banshee.

WOE or what ever they are this week, lost the FH-1 and F2H? Glad I know that, I always wanted to take t trip down to get a nice walk around on them. I guess that road trip might require a bit more time now.

Tim;
I didn't say they "lost" them. The last I saw them (1999) they were still there. The two aircraft were ID's as follows:

McDonnell FH-1 ( Phantom) - Serial No. -111768; Display
US Navy Fighter; Owner: US Marine Corps

McDonnell F2H-2P ( Banshee) - Serial No. -125690; Display
US Navy Reconnaissance; Owner: US Marine Corps

They were recovered from the disbanned display that was at Cherry Point. They are both still listed on the website:

Blue skies,

I think I'm getting Museum names confused (I was thinking it may have moved to NM).

This was one of three that were owned by a flight school (two registered and flying and one used for spares); is this the one at Pensacola now?
