the F-4 in the airpark is currently painted as F-4B 152249 / AB200 and 152249 / AG143.

152249 however, should be scrapped back in 1984.
another BuNo which is linked to this F-4 is F-4A 148261.

anybody can shine a light on the real identity of this F-4 ?

flight enroute to St.Petersburg made an emergency landing 12.00 pm (local).
reason 'technical problem', what that might mean
no injuries

Quonset indeed has 2 F-4s.

148252 F-4A is being restored (put inside the museum), using parts of F-4B 148371
The B is outside.
markings : DTNSRDC, which stands for David W. Taylor Naval Ship Research & Development Center.

Hope this helps.
