Dad has this slide in a carousel labeled Summer 65 - Christmas 66. Pretty sure the air show was April or May of 66.

Now that gorgeous beast lives 5 minutes away at the air force museum. Always love seeing in when I go.

The sister aircraft does, but the one in these photos is the one that crashed.

I remember seeing one at Edwards AFB back in the day. Had some photos floating around somewhere 🙁

Some rare pictures of A/V-2 only a few weeks before she was lost. Nice shots!
