Anyone want a Dragonfly?

Looks like the Indiana Aviation Museum (Jim Read) is selling their A-37A Dragonfly. If I'm not mistaken this particular aircraft has a combat history.

I thought N91RW was Bob Waltrip's from Lone Star?

I know the museum acquired this aircraft in 2002 and the aircraft is registered under JRMC, Inc. Also all of the museum's other aircraft are registered under the same name. Maybe the museum acquired it from Bob Waltrip?

I believe it was from Lone Star and your right, Purchased in 02.
It seems a fair amount of Jets are F/S or changing hands.

It left Lone Star in '97 or '98. It went to someplace in Florida at that time. That customer that bought it had a main gear collapse and squashed the drop tanks on that side. It flew for a while with no drop tanks. After 10 minutes in the air, they were bingo fuel without them.
