In Florida for work and unexpectedly had some time and remembered that a Space Shuttle external fuel tank was parked outside Jacksonville.

Is it still there? We have one in SoCal for a museum (it’s being put for a full stack shuttle assembly). I remember seeing it when it was delivered and my first thought was “Your mom’s vibrator has arrived” (not you, just in general). And, yes, I claim to be an adult.
Oh I saw it in 2021 and I took pictures of it next to my car, but I never knew what it was. Thank you for this!
Is it just sitting out in the open? No museum or placard anywhere?

I’m going to be in that area soon. We’ll stop there, the military museum, and then Woodpecker’s BBQ
The third picture – is that taken from inside?
That’s strange. I wonder why they left it there.
Could repurpose it for the Artemis rockets. Essentially uses the same tank, with non shuttle attaching apparatus.
