Rick:

I cannot say 100% that the airplanes were based at Ellington. That's what I was told.

I remember that they also had a MiG-21ish (either Polish or Chinese, I dunno) there.

You are correct, the name should have been Jim Robinson instead of Reynolds; just another
partheimer's moment : )

The F-104 (or whatever the nomenclature was... NF-104?) I saw 11 years later at the Williams Gateway airport in Mesa, AZ and was still wearing the same overall silver and red/white/blue scheme, unless there were more than one F-104 dual seater wearing the same colors.

Saludos,


Tulio

Press "1" for English.
Press "2" to disconnect until you have learned to speak English.

Sooooo, how am I going to know to press 1 or 2, if I do not speak English????

No Tulio, it's the same aircraft. The Combat Jets collection was donated to EAA as a flying collection. The Mig 21 was one of the first US civilian flyers. EAA slowly allowed the whole collection to go static and then they started to sell off the aircraft. The T-33 and a couple more were for sale recently but the F-104 was one of the first to go.

A photo of the MIG is featured on the contents page of Warbirds International Mar/Apr 2006. It lists it as a Chinese F-7 (MIG 21) N21MG (c/n 1603).
