Spare 617 is now on display at the USAF Museum.

Col. Cauldwell who brought her back to Ton Sun Nhut officiated at the ceremony.

Happy to see that she finally got a place of honor.

Col. Cauldwell in his younger days when he was Capt. Bill, best pilot I ever had the pleasure of flying with!

(not to take anything away from any of the other fine pilots that flew for the 776 TAS)
