I have a photograph of this aircraft “Miss Behavin” that I took at Dhahran Airbase during Desert Storm. USAF vet 1986-1991.

Awesome interview and video. I was at Sheikh Isa, fairly close to Dhahran. I wasn't aircrew or a pilot, I was Air Force Security Forces (Air Base Ground Defense). 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧

Great to see you here Rodger! Thanks for pointing out the undercarriage, but the video also took me straight back to all the halcyon days on IX(B) and beyond. TABS! Miami H-V.

I notice there is no refueling boom up by the cockpit. I wonder if it had one originally and the museum removed it, or if this specimen never got one at all?

The aircraft was just not good enough to fight a modern war. The panic to get these painted pink was incredible. They had to be camouflaged as well as possible as the RAF knew they were so vulnerable. Tactics over might.
