There is one on display in the main lobby of the cosmosphere in hutchison KS. I went there last year and got to look in the cockpit and get very close to it. The way it is situated in the building, the nose is about 3 ft off the ground, pitched down about 30deg and about a 15deg roll, its a heckuva display. The size of that thing is awesome! I'll see if I can find some pics, or post the video on you tube.
