Here's a little mystery: There was a PBS show that aired maybe 15-20 years ago about a young Native American on a vision quest. He and an elder are walking through the wilderness when this shows up:
A Scorpion in the wild! No explanation - and no markings or tip tanks either, apparently. I know F-89s are very rare nowadays; and there couldn't be too many out in the weeds like this one. I believe the show was shot in South Dakota, Montana or Colorado.
So the age-old question: Can anyone ID this? Over to the WIXperts!
