Anyone working on an F-89 static or flying?

[mustangdriver]

Just wondering as we have one at our museum. It has no wings, and the museum is trying to figure out what to do with it.

Chris,

I like this one too....

Check your PM's when you get a chance.

Awaiting your call. I just don't want to see them go to the scrap man. That is against my religion.

Chris,

I sent over a couple of PMs, if you still haven't received them, I can e-mail you direct. You can PM me your e-mail address if that works better for you.

Thanks,

Steve

The Texas Air Museum in San Antonio needs a nose. They have a early 89 with a gun nose, it was on display at Lackland for years. When lackland got rid of it, the USAF kept the nose (why?..beats me). I don't know how much is missing...might be quite awyas back...which your ac seems to have.
I think that's the only thing they need...and your parts could mean the difference between it going back on display or ending up as scrap.
Yes, I know it won't be correct...but the wrong nose is better than no nose at all. And 89s are too rare to let that happen.

John I will check with Steve and then the Texas guys. I think this airframe can do some good!!

At one time the Kalamazoo Air Zoo had a complete F-89 tail assembly (possibly two.) That was several year ago though..don't know if they still have them.
