Wfu from USAF service in Oct 1972 and placed on display at Fresno ANGB, CA. Remained there in California Air Guard markings until at least 1979, but its whereabouts in the 1980s are less certain. It reportedly spent some years at Hurlburt Field, FL (falsely painted as "43010"), but this is unconfirmed. In March 1990 it arrived at the March Field Air Museum in unmarked olive drab paint with no serial. That paint was removed in 2004, and in 2008 it was finally restored to its original California Air Guard markings, as seen here.
