That's the F-15 Streak Eagle. They're in process of stripping the paint from it to make it appear as it did on the record-setting day. I love your videos that came from your visit to the museum! All of them, actually. I'm a bit obsessed :)
I'm surprised the X-32 is in need of restoration. I'd have figured that as soon as it lost out to the X-35, they'd have put it in the museum immediately and not let it deterioriate. Man that's one ugly plane. Yes, the production version would have been LESS ugly.
Okay a few years ago I saw a Sprint missile laying on a mattress in the Missile Silo getting ready for transport. Came back a year later and it was gone. Ask the Docent and they didn't know what a Sprint Missile was. Looked online and it wasn't on the inventory. What gives?
The folks that do this work are awesome craftsman.
Was that a Mig-25 I saw there at 3:38??! It'll be great seeing the X-32 restored too, but geez it looks... ungainly...

My GOD how do I get that kids job! I’m not even close to qualified, but if I did I’d never see home again……and I’d be divorced
