Are you familiar with wikipedia?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Always a fine place to begin a web search. Mostly good articles and links to further reading.

I am researching (for no particular reason!) the whereabouts of these 2 aircraft-i hope they made it to museums, but i don’t know-can anybody help?

The YA-10B N/AW 73-1664 is at Edwards:

The N/AW 10 was the all weather variant that was built but not proceeded with.

Hmmm where do you do your research?

Wikipedia will link you to this page:

http://www.aero-web.org/specs/fairrepu/ya-10a.htm

where is tells you, that the A-10A prototype is now located at United States Air Force Museum, Wright-Patterson, Ohio.

If it is indeed the Fairchild-Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II you are looking for.
