PAV-2 is reclaimed by Northrup and refurbished (perhaps cannibalizing PAV-1?). After installation of new cockpit displays and God knows what else it's shipped to TTR?
EDIT: If they took PAV-1 briefly to take out all the GSE, etc to make PAV-2 airworthy, this could explain why both airframes were alleged to be missing at some point.

The images were taken during early March 2004 during a tour of the National Museum of the United States Air Force Restoration Facility.

It was October 1996 at the Edwards AFB air show. It was the first
time I had ever seen one at an airshow.
Hope that helps!
