In 1957, the Virginia National Guard's 142nd Fighter Squadron re-equipped with the Republic F-84F Thunderstreak. 52-8837 (previously assigned to the USAF and French Air Force) was placed on display at the unit's Richmond airport base. In 2010 the Virginia Air National Guard transferred to Joint Base Langley to fly the Lockheed F-22 Raptor. Circa 2011, 52-8837 was taken down and moved to Davis-Monthan AFB for storage at AMARC.
