While meandering around Hue, Vietnam I came across a small military museum with the obligatory Huey, Skyraider, A-37 and MiG-21 exhibited. Alongside were the partial remains of another aircraft with no information board detail.

I have attached some photos. I know there are a number of forum members who have in the past worked in a number of military aircraft capacities. Can anyone identify from which aircraft these remains originate? The wording is in English so I am guessing it is possibly American.

It would be nice to put a label on the images. Many thanks in anticipation.

Many thanks Arjen and Robunos for the quick replies.

I only found out the museum was there because I was taken a rickshaw ride back to my hotel after dark and saw the silhouette of a huey tail over a wall !! I found the museum the next day when I retraced the route.
