Its what I have heard as well,
except for the approx- 88 De-milled ones in museums
they don,t want the Iranians to get ANY parts for the Tom-Cat at all so

We have one of the 88 at Seattle's Museum of Flight. Repainted by the

:-( I've had to pull my leg of the trip to Seattle. Wont be able to fit in
everything I want to do.
although, if the snow keeps falling, I may not be able to drive from Wyoming
to Masachusettes so may have to look at doing Seattle :-)

But I really want to do the drive across the top.

We are the last bastion against the Canoodlian hordes!

We've been skirting with late winter snow in the region this week,
too. Virtually nothing in the city, but as much as 16" just a few
miles out of town. May not be done yet, but...
