They're actually restoring one of these to flying condition. Last I saw it was coming along nicely. Engines hung, on its gear.

I was in Harlingen when the CAF crunched theirs.   Such a bummer.  :(

F-82 was ruined when they switched it back to junky American made Allison engines.  Much performance was lost.
