Some of those are from the ANG based at Battle Creek. I saw a pic on TV where the back of the motor was gone and you could see in the front of what was left the word "Creek" in a script.
It's good to see the "old hawg that should be turned out to pasture" kicked butt and took names, just because it's old and slow doesn't mean that you should get rid of it. The mil made that mistake with the A-6 and the F-111, two excellent planes that weren't "newfangled" enough.
