There's also an F-86 on a pole outside the AF HQ building.

I was up at Palmdale mid day today.

Saw a U-2 take off, the VISTA F-16 do a couple of touch and gos, and a 12:00 JANET flight arriving.

Also, the BA 747-800 disapeared mid day as visible from the street.

I didn't know Boeing's hanger was big enough for the 747.  I know the other 747 is at VCV.  I wonder if maybe it just flew there.

It wasn't in the hanger, but north of it.

Ohh I wonder what they're doing with it.  I haven't been down in a week or two.

Certification flight test program. It flew around for a couple of hours on Friday. The one at VCV will eventually come back, after they repair the "ooops" damage.

Not sure about the T-33 but I remember hearing once that the Nighthawk is a "mutt" being made up of parts from many aircraft.

Here ya go.
