Hey Chuck, look at at what the Air Force Museum put on display.
I was there for the arrival! Actually it was during our Reserve Muster /AT. Landed at the old Wright Field , just south of WPAFB. A colleague of mine flew the pilot who ferried the plane to their home. It's a great story.

The aircraft was recently repainted - all the museum crew had to do was give it a good wax job, and put preservative fluids in the engine and drain the fuel. It's a standard round dial 180hp 172.

Here she is in her new home: (under the wing of a B-36 and next to an F-86D). This airplane still has an airworthiness cetificate and current registration. Probably worth over $125K on the market in current condition.
