The aircraft previously flew out of Burlington ,Vermont for 10 years as a test pilot evaluation training aircraft for NAS Pax River. It was purchased by the San Diego Flight Museum in 1997 where it has been flown by Chief Astronaut Charlie Precourt, Shuttle Commander “ Hoot” Robert Gibson and ex RCAF pilot and Museum President, Reg Finch. It has been lovingly cared for by the Museum staff and used primarily to attend air shows in Southern California where it was always the center of attraction with long lines to see the cockpit of this once formidable adversary.
