DEELEN, Netherlands, Dec. 20 (UPI) -- Thieves stole a U.S. F104 Starfighter from a Dutch museum during the weekend, museum officials said Monday.

The officials at the Deelen air base museum said the non-working model would have been difficult for thieves to move undetected Saturday night and they are hoping the incident turns out to be a New Year's prank, Nul.nl reported Monday.

The officials said the thieves left a note mysteriously stating, "Fly out there. Until next year!"

Ok ok first off...I don't drink Timmy's...hate the after taste.

Second...We don't use dog sleds...Snow machines fer cryin out loud not dog sleds.

Third...I hate snow machines it would have been a Herc on skis.

Last...It's the Alberta Aviation Museum 11410-Kingsway, Edmonton, Alberta drop in and check us out you don't need a search warrant! But you do have to love airplanes.

Our "real" Starfighter is scheduled to arrive in April or May 2012.

LOL

Thanks Tom

It's not in Britain

We have it hidden, telling everyone its a replica at the Reynolds Alberta Museum.

You would be amazed at how well it's working.
