“That 2 seater is parked in front of the AFFTC museum at Edwards AFB...I drive past it 2x a day... “

In the early 80’s there was a rumor that it was going to be put in front of Fairchild Republic (Long Island) where all the A-10s were all built, but it never came to pass.

The unofficial reason floating around the company was that management realized they would have to pay to guard it 24 hours a day, 365 days out of the year, to keep disgruntled employees from painting remarks about Jimmy Carter on the sides of it!
