Display
Displayed at the USAF Museum. The museum incorrectly thought the manufacture number was 62387. It was superficially restored with tail number 343-A-11 painted in a single line across the tail, incorrectly.
Later, this aircraft was re-restored during 2007, this George was completed in 2008 and returned to display painted as an aircraft in the Yokosuka Kokutai, with tail number E-105.
