I believe the aircraft calls the Cavanaugh Air Museum home.

I have seen it flying the Texas skies a few times over this past year.

The periscope was originally destined for the Collings Invader, My Mary Lou. After that aircraft was wrecked, it was sold to Carl Scholl who installed it in Hard To Get. It was in its original shipping frame work and still had the glass dessicant tubes attached. The optics were still good. I hated to see it go but it was out of my hands. There can't be many left like that.

It is a beautiful bird. If I recall the aircraft no longer has a bomb bay, residual from the executive conversion. I have never actually seen the aircraft though so easily could be mistaken. Anyone have any interior photographs?
