747 seen with live an AIM-9 Sidewinder in a hangar at homebase Fresno. After service with the 194th Fighter Interceptor Squadron "Griffins" this Phantom was retired to AMARC on 5 January 1989. It was kept in storage at Davis Monthan's AMARC with inventory code FP0191. The Spook was transferred to Dross Metals on 18 March 1998 but saved of being scrapped. It was moved to Corsicana (TX) where it was preserved up to May 2014. Since July 2014, the F-4D can be found preserved at Orlando Executive AP (FL).
