The second prototype YF-18 has been parked for many years at the Fire & Rescue facility on the north side of Naval Auxiliary Landing Field Fentress (KNFE) which is 11 mi/17 km SE of NAS Oceana in a rural area of Virginia. The single 8000 ft runway is used by Navy aircraft from NAS Oceana and NAS Norfolk for training. Photos from about 10 years ago still show the YF-18 wearing US Navy markings. It was previously at NAS Norfolk for fire fighting and crane practice with local aircraft carriers. It is difficult to view aircraft using from the runway which is surrounded by trees inside the base.
