FU-154 is a Thunderstreak mounted on a concrete stand on a roundabout near Philippeville and the Florennes Airbase in Belgium. It has been preserved in NATO camouflage colors while also representing the demo versions flown by Major Marette and Adj. Dupont of the 2nd Wing in the 1960's.

Fu-154 was originally mounted in it's bare metal configuration in November of 2001, where it remained as such until 21st January 2017, when it was struck by a lorry that failed to negotiate the roundabout, causing damage to the left wing and prompting a repair and subsequent repaint in the current colors. It was eventually reinstalled onto it's roundabout on 27th September 2018, where it remains until this day.
