Photo Comment

Where I first saw this bird preserved, at a National Guard Armory in Independence. Covered in some sort of wrap for recruiting purposes; thankfully the outline of the serial number was still visible on the fuselage and the vertical tail. This armory closed at an undetermined point later on, and the aircraft was moved to the new Kentucky Army National Guard Readiness Center in Burlington.
