The "US Army" 152 is in the Classic Flyers Museum - its there for kids to play around with - although at the mo its up in the rafters so nobody can get at it.

The US army never flew 152s.Aye? - I was there a few weeks ago and I am sure it was in the rafters of the Museum - are you sure you didnt mistake it for the Super Cub in US Army colours?

I *think* that "Army" 152 is a former Bayflight machine. I don't think the US Army ever operated the 152, but they do operate military versions of the 172 as the T-41 Mescalero, for basic training.
