Fuselage and tail of 23226 along with the wings originally from 23208. The wings of 23226 were used for the rebuild of 23208 when it was converted to a QF-86E N46869 which was "cancelled" (presumably shot down) in 1988. 23226 was never converted and was rebuilt to static display (presumably with the wings from '208) and is now on display in the Alexandria/England Industrial Air Park, LA as "24931/FU-931".

Built in 1955 and originally USAF 55-0156. When the USAF replaced the last of their T-34As with T-41s and T-37s at the beginning of the 1960s, those not transferred for foreign military service were passed to Air Force flying clubs and the Civil Air Patrol. However the low-wing design made them unsuitable in the search and rescue role and wing-spar repairs that became necessary in the late 1990s saw the last of the CAP T-34s retired by 2003. Despite this, registration N8245E remains current in 2025

Prototype Challenger. It crashed near Mojave during flight testing on April 3, 1980. The aircraft had entered a deep stall but could not recover because the drag chute would not deploy, The crew bailed out but one was killed when his parachute failed to open.
