Don't suppose this one is free from the shackles of the USAF?

Would be fantastic to see her in her natural habitat. :cry:

am I the only one that sees a picture like that and starts making a mental list of what it would take to make it fly?

I've done that since I was a kid, I guess...

Thats why its WIX. 8)

Your not alone.... Ok, what do you think it will take to come and "lift" that beauty in the night? A rent-able flatbed, crane, some tools. Maybe somebody's nice garage perhaps? :wink:

A few years later and much money and time invested, and the mysterious disappearing F-84 suddenly shows up at Oshkosh in all her glory! I can see it now!

In my notes, which I likely got from Andy Marden's book, I have... F-84F-30-GK 51-9419.
