I was just there yesterday and I believe it's on display. IIRC it has an engine cutout on display as well.

Here I was just gonna say f-yea! Pantera! About time someone makes a cool vid with some angry music! One thing that still pisses me off about my 9 years of active duty in the Nav is watching the freaking athletes and media goofs who always seem to get incentive flights in Hook squadrons, absolute crap! The closest I got was riding brakes!
I finally got to put a bag on and fly with my buddy when he was at HMX. We did a night goggles hop around Quantico in the Phrog and it was absolutely amazing! We were yank'n and bank'n around Quantico and I think the Patomac River. The PLC platoons on the ground would fire flares up every so often too. We landed in a few LZ's; with the NVG's down we'd scatter herds of deer and the rotor wash would bend the trees as we'd fly our approach - it was awesome!
One of those jets (along with the Super Hornet, and Skyhawk) that just look better in two-seat form than single-seat...
I'll give you the Rhino---the two place canopy gives it a bit of a Tomcat look. But the two seat A-4? Gross. Sexy as hell in single seat form though.

Living the dream
You like the look of wasted space? Odd.
Btw....the two seat Harrier definitely does not fit your paradigm.
What was the Pilot Training Rate back in the day, you ask?
How many Naval Aviators were designated each year from 1911 to 1995?
Especially check out the Training Command's amazing WWII years pilot production!

WOW, good find Cat...brought back mem's of my Bee County Bash Jan-July '58, TV-2 & F9F-8. Total night life...burgers+ at Maples Drive-In, 4 N/Cs & case of Lone Star @ Texas Drive-In movie, San Antonio or 'Cripus Corsti' weekends. Even managed a couple of weekend jaunts to charm the Senoritas in Nueva Laredo, Mexico!
Two of the photos at the top of the scroll, are of ex-POW (then LTjg) CAPT Dick "Beak" Stratton, at that time a plowback Inst Instructor in TV-2s @ ATU-213. Beak & 5 of us new ENS, reported together to VF-94 in Alameda in Aug of '58, to the great dismay of the cruise-returning, seasoned veteran VF-94!

I agree with the Rhino, looks much better in a two seat IMO but the A-4 looked sweet as a single seat jet!
