I know where a RF-84 is. It's sitting at the Wright-Patterson AFB Heating plant/Recycling Center. It's sitting derelic and has been there quite a long time. Well it would definatly be a project. From what I can tell it's mostly the airframe and wings. Looks to have had several parts removed, but no major damage as far as I can see. But looks to be more than restorable compared to some mangled wrecks that I've seen other organization build back into beautiful machines. I imagine the RF-84 belongs to USAF Museum considering the proximity to the museum and may have served as parts for another RF-84. Oddly though if the restoration facility were using this plane normally it would be kept over at the restoration facility. So perhaps they have no further use of the aircraft and are disposing of it. Just a guess. Anyway hope this helps.
