I spotted this today on the "You Know You're from Paducah, KY When..." Facebook page, posted by Stephen P. Ward:
I can read the buzz number but not the tail number. So, can anyone tell whether this is YP-84A 45-59487, or P-84C s/n 47-1487? Per the Forgotten Jets list, the C-model crashed in Texas six months after this picture was taken, and the A-model supposedly still survives at Chino (anyone seen it?).
Over to the experts...
