I think there is an error being propagated out there on the web.

The darker P&W powered PAV-1 (800) was "Grey Ghost" and the lighter GE powered PAV-2 (801) was "Spider".

The contractor dubbed "Black Widow II" moniker was for the YF-23/F-23 in general, as was the contractor dubbed "Lightning II" for the YF-22/F-22.

Once they put the tails on, you will see it is PAV-2.


OK. Everything I've seen on the web has the two names reversed.

I'm starting to wonder if this is indeed PAV-2. The example in the AF museum says "Grey Ghost" on the nose gear door, and this one says "Spider"

PAV-1 was the "Black Widow" (http://www.flickr.com/photos/27044274@N06/3982740548/in/pool-43833607@N00/)

PAV-2 was the "Grey Ghost"

Is this really PAV-2?

Agreed.

Looks like the other prototype is safely tucked under the nose of the surviving XB-70, indoors,  at Wright-Patterson.

Yep, its also the darker colored one too.

What frustrates me about the WMoF, is this is going to sit outside, rotting away and will likely never get restored anywhere close to what it once looked like. The YF-17 should be a better museum, fully restored, and INDOORS.
