Photo Comment

Taken into service in September 1954 as an F-89D and upgraded to F-89J in 1957, this aircraft was the last Scorpion in service with an operational unit and arrived at the museum in July 1969 from the Maine ANG. These days it is painted as an F-89J of the 449th FIS as per my upload from December 2024 here
