Also one at the Kansas Cosmosphere, Hutchinson, KS. Hard to get that one
out, they mounted it to a huge angled pedestal and built the building around
it. Sits at about a 25 degree, nose down, left wing low attitude, gear up.
Pitot tube is eye level, you can eyeball down the entire length of the
fuselage.
I seem to remember one in San Antonio also. Can't remember if at Kelly,
Randolph or Lackland AFB.
I remember seeing one of Nasa's a few years back when supporting a T-1A
Jayhawk at Edwards AFB at the flight test school. Had a test engine
(scramjet, I think) mounted in a pylon on the top centerline of the
aircraft. Lots of cool stuff at Edwards.
