I love the one on display at the Huntsville Space and Rocket center. My favorite part of the place. You can see it as you drive past on 565.

Looking at the specs on that thing makes me not feel so fast in my srt6.
I've always loved seeing the one they have on the Intrepid in NY. That and the tomcat. I grew up watching TopGun. Funny thing about VHS tapes is your folks can edit out the bad parts. LOL Little snip snip here, scotch tape there... Rated-R to G in 5 minutes flat. LOL
