It has since been off loaded from the trailer, placed on it's landing gear. Today the wings were installed, and the tails were going on as well.

Is it an A model?

Yeah, it is an A model. We are trying to find out any history of it. it was the repair airfram from Warner Robbins AFB.

I've heard you're not supposed to fly any "A" model of anything! :shock:

Looks a bit like a kit, insert tab A of Vertical Stabilizer in Slot B of fuselage, being careful to not use too much glue. Make sure angle of Stabilizer is correct, let dry, repeat step for other side! Did it come with a nice set of decals? What unit will she be finished up as? Good for them, that is a nice addition to the collection.

It's 76-0012 I believe.
This served at Bitburg, then Eglin, then 5th FIS, then with the MA ANG before going to Robins.
