And now it sits quietly rusting away in a fenced in high security lot
somewhere behind a lot of fences with barbed wire and guys with guns......

According to Wikipedia
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YF-23_Black_Widow_II), both prototypes
have been transferred to museums (if you count El Segundo production
as a museum).

Is this not correct?

Well, I wouldn't count El Segundo as a museum, however there are 3 aircraft
on loan because the museum at Torrance doesn't have room for them. And then,
there is the recently added T-38. You can see the F-14, YF-17, and T-38 from
the road, as they are in our parking lot. The YF-23 (No. 2) is a little
harder for an outsider to see. It is protected, like the production lines,
but not with barbed wire.

And, it's rusting away as many other aircraft in a museum. There is still a
lot of pride with that aircraft within the company.
