Warbird Information Exchange

I was in Texas Wed. when I saw a Starfighter without it's wings or nose cone sitting in a Six Flags parking lot.......Anybody know what the plans are for this one or why it's sitting there (on the west side by the ballpark)?

As a completely unrelated note, my wife called me to check out something on the television last night and I got there just in time to see Mr. Cruise showing his Mustang to somebody...don't know what show or anything.

there was an oufit that had a bunch of cockpits they turned into flight simus around the entrance of six flags. I can't remember the name though.

Hey jaybird...the Cruise/P-51 show was part of a Baba WaWa Special.

A new F-104 ride at Six Flags?....hmmn maybe season tickets this year....

The 104 was a part of a display at the entrance to a ride for a couple of years. Think the ride was called "The Right Stuff" if I remember correctly.

Yes apparently Mr. Cruise bought a P-51 a few years ago. I understand he gets dual stick training when he can between movies which isn't very often. I forget which airframe he bought, but I get the impression it doesn't fly often.
