Does anybody know the identity of this partial F-105 (G?) parked near Aero Traders and/or what the plan is for its future?

is it from lackland afb where they had a string of them for years displayed for m.p. training?? I've seen mention before here that those thuds were retired from training school, now all video / computer monitoring is used for training. can't imagine the usaf took so many years to do away w/ such archaic security training.

Is it the one being transferred from the Museum of Aviation in Warner Robins, GA?

I'm not sure if this came from the M. o. A. I know 2 or 3 other aircraft were being transferred to Hawaii from the museum in Ga. but I dont know about the Thud.

The G-Thud from Robins did have (what I assume is) the Nellis shield between the cockpits, so that is likely the answer. The Lackland airplanes, IIRC, were all D-models with Hill AFB tail codes.
