One of those 'ah shucks I missed it' moments just hit me

Those aircraft are in pretty sad shape
Insie though they have a little test that will make you feel like you need to study the recce harder.
It is a display case with a bunch of unmarked little black models of mostly WWII aircraft and a blank piece of paper to write your answers on.
I'm obviously better at aircraft recce in the LATER years

Shaw AFB, in Sumter SC has RF-4, RF-101, RB-66, O-2, and an A-10 (with a green Iraqi star from a helo shootdown.) They are all just inside the front gate. There's also a viper more toward the center of the base.
