I was able to help a crew of experienced FedEx Mechanics that were going to restore her at the Millington Airport. she had a hanger all to her self and spent a while there. I'll never forget being able to sit in the cockpit, and hold the guns she had on her. While at the Millington Airport she was part of an airshow. even though she was a shell people still came in wanting to see her. even had international people of the military come out to see her (german and french). Sadly the Airforce took her from us... Please enjoy these few pictures I have of her. The man in the picture is my dad  |
Crazy timing..... I was just looking at her restoration pic's yesterday.
