Photo Comment

The aircraft, which originally served with the Republic of China Air Force/RoCAF, was on loan from the USAF Museum. When the CAF moved to Midland, TX., in 1991 it was relocated to Warfield Air National Guard Base, Martin State Airport, Middle River, MD., where it was refurbished, and is now displayed painted in Maryland ANG markings with the false serial "10004" and can be seen there on Google Maps street view.
