Several people have already pointed out that there is a 4th Saturn V in
Huntsville, Alabama at the Marshall Space Flight Center. There were thirteen
Saturn V launches (10 manned Apollo's, 2 test flights, and the SkyLab launch),
and I believe, at the time the Saturns were cancelled, there were three boosters
not assigned to any flights (they would have been Apollos 18,19,and 20). The
fourth "Saturn V" laying on its side, rusting, is probably an engineering test
model (for launch pad fit checks, etc. - I believe I read this somewhere). I
don't know at which site the engineering version is on display. I don't believe
that any were cut up for scrap.
