This aircraft was captured from the SVNAF by the Vietnamese near Saigon in 1975 during the Vietnam War. It was transported to Poland for examination and now forms part of the Polish Aviation Museum. It is on open-air display and the original USAF markings have become visible below the altered South Vietnam flag on the tail.Altered SVNAF insigna can also be seen on the engine air intake.
