Slide taken in the outdoor aircraft display area at the old museum on Patterson AFB. The XF-85 Goblin program was a failure, with this a/c only completing one flight on 8 April 1949. The second XF-85, s/n 46-524, only managed to complete four flights and was damaged on the fourth flight. The USAFM received 46-523 in 1950. It was transferred to the new museum and is on display.
