The bottom photo is the same YF-17 Cobra on display at the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, Florida. The YF-17 was moved from the Navy museum to the USS Alabama to make room in the Navy museum for some older aircraft that they were otherwise unable to display.
Update — Battleship Park was badly damaged by Hurricane Katrina in August, 2005. Most aircraft were floated in the storm surge, resulting in planes being swept off of their gear and tumbling into each other. The fate of the YF-17 isn't known yet at this time.
