Nope, have at it.

What happened to the airframe post life as a park slide? I know a T-33 here in Utah served a similar life until Hill AFB got the airframe and put it on display.

I was told that Cutlass was plowed under and play ground was constructed on top...

Bidding went cuckoo in the last few seconds - sold for $105.50.
So, do the usual... take the eBay image, clone out the watermark, done.

I do hope they took the “bang” out of the bangseat. With a playground toy like that my 10 year old self would have been figuring out how to hook a battery up to it and then started throwing switches!
