This demonstration was the deciding factor for the United States Air Force to also order the aircraft… Never demilled, BuNu 145310 has been under restoration to airworthy condition for the past 10 years by Aircraft Restoration Services LLC at the French Valley Airport, CA. It is being offered for sale As Is, Where Is. Major items left to complete are the two engine overhauls, two ejection seats, and avionics.
