Photo Comment

Consigned to AMARC as FP592 on Dec 12 1990, moved to BAE Systems at Mojave on Jan 16, 2007 and converted to QF-4E drone AF329. Flew its last unmanned mission over White Sands Missile Range, NM., on Aug 17 2016, and ended up as an air-to-ground target at that Range. (Thanks to Joe Baugher and Coert van Breda for much of the above).
