I was wondering if someone here can help me. I am trying to find some of the aircraft collectors that are in sorts like Walter Soplata and Leon Cleaver. There was someone with a field full of T-28's. Im looking for people and places like this. Thanks!

Is it an RF?
Which would make it a RF-84K (25 built as opposed to the YF-84F used for testing the FICON concept).
If it still has empennage, easy way to tell, if the horz. stabilizers have a good bit of anhedral. If so, it's something rather special.

If it's not an RF, then it's the YF-84F.
