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

Thats why its WIX.

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!

The story on this bird is that it is owned by a private party, it sits in a parking lot of a closed restaurant next to the motel...right off of I-39
