In August 2012, while driving up to Colorado, as we entered the small town of Dumas on 287 near the top of the panhandle, my wife happened to notice a camouflaged T-Streak tucked up against the side of a building on the west side of 287. On the way back thru, we noticed it was next to a museum called "The Window to the Plains". Google earth now shows it along a walkway behind the building. I haven't been able to find anything on it. Anybody know where it came from?

Interestingly, only 2 blocks north and 2 blocks east of the T-Streak is an F-4 in a small park.

Possibly it (the F-84F) is 52-6553 that was on display at a now defunct museum in Amarillo.

Thanks, Clifford. That certainly makes sense. I bet you are right.

It was a sight I sure didn't expect to see in Dumas.

It is indeed 52-6553.
it arrived in Dumas from Amarillo on 25 June 2009.
