Kevin: I went to the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum today and I spoke with my contact there, He stated the AV-8B Harrier will stay in NASA Paint until next April or May, when it will be brought in for corrosion control and be repainted in Marine Squadron colors. They do not know which suadron will be on the Harrier. Here are a few pics of the aircraft in NASA livery.

The Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum has this CH-46 Seaknight Helicopter. I spent some time looking over this aircraft, I noticed that the right side pilot has armor plating to protect him from small arms fire. The left side pilot has no such armor.

The Museum has these two helicopters a AH-1J Sea Cobra and a CH-53A Sea Stallion.

The Museum has these 3 classic jet aircraft on display. They also have a RF-8G Photo aircraft that is in the hanger for corrosion control.
