I visited Pima back in the mid 90's while dropping off a C-130 at AMARG and took a pic of it outdoors.

The F-107 displayed at the Pima Air and Space Museum (55-5118) is beautifully restored and is displayed indoors.

I was stationed at Clovis AFB later dedicated as Cannon AFB from 1954 to about 1959. We were an interim F-86H newly formed outfit transitioning to the F-100D. We ferried our aircraft from the North American's plant back to Clovis as they came off the line and were tested. On one ferry trip we were toured through a closed hanger space housing the F-107 which at that time was in a contract contest with Republic's F-105. Personally I was impressed during the walk around. Obviously the folks at procurement were not for reasons we'll never know.

Both completed F-107 prototypes survived and are in museums. One resides outdoors at the Pima Air and Space Museum, near Tucson, Arizona. The other is in the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, currently in a normally-closed hangar with other X-type planes, awaiting the construction of a fourth building for the Museum.

Greg you are correct as I have a picture of the F-107 at the Pima Air and Space Museum and while we were on a tour their I got the picture of it.

I worked at North American's Torrance, CA facility from July 1952 to Oct. 1960. We made the epoxy bonded trailing edges and the aluminum honeycomb air intake among other items for the 107. I undersood that only two planes were completed, the third plane was not completed and it and a number of parts/assemblies were located at Fox Field, Lancaster, CA. A full page ad was run in the old Los Angeles Times Mirror newspaper asking for support of North American employees who had assembled the first two planes for their experience in assembling the third plane.

while going to college at Northop Aero Institute I worked part time at North American designing part of this airplane.

I seen one of these A/C at the Orange Co.(Cal)museum somewhere between 1971-74. I got some photo's of it stuck away someplace. I was there to visit the Tallman meseum and somebody told me about the 107.It was parked way down at the end of the field. They were working on it,supposibly taking it apart to truck it out. Later I heard that during the Wee hours of the morning they flew it out of their without permission.

There were two of these birds on the ramp near Test Pilot School when I was at Edwards ABF in '66-'67. Covered with dust, they sat by the B-57's, NF-104, and other assorted stuff near Transient Ops.

I believe it was called the Super Super Sabre

The article's accounting of the "3" F-107 seems incomplete. Tail number 55-5118 is on display at Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson. I knew I had seen it there and their web site confirms that.
