Comments: Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio marked as 79-0317 and painted like the South Carolina ANG, 157th TFS. Anti-spin parachute support mounts were still on the aircraft. The USAF museum exchanged this aircraft for an F-16 that actually flew in the war as the museum prefers war veterans then early development aircraft.
