F-9 Panther. Are there any still flying privately?

[AREA_5150]

What the hell happened to this plane? Been doing some research of the F-9, and there don't seem to be any flying anymore, even in the private sector. I've found some are statics, around the country, but were most of these planes destroyed/scrapped?

Any of you military guys, who travel to airshows, ever see any that are still flying?

Last combat use were TF-9Js used as Fast FACs in Vietnam but the USMC. Most of the ones left in Navy training command gone in the mid 1970s.

Haven't seen one on the airshow circuit, although one resides....sadly neglected.....as a gateguard at the Canyon State Academy southeast of Williams-Gateway.
