Perhaps a private purchase? There were many interesting projects going on
at Mojave at the time - USAF unmanned drone conversions of F-100s and just
beginning the QF-106 program. Flight Systems had some fun toys scattered
around, including an F-4. There were a couple Saab J-32 Lansen in
storage; Burt Rutan was building the Voyager 'round the world' aircraft
(didn't get to see that); somebody was restoring a Hawker Hunter, and
more. I will try to get some slides of that trip tweaked up in the near
future.
