The Voodoo, Flying Boxcar, and the HH-21 are still there, that is of last week. I live nearby in the town of Benbrook. I believe that the Ft. Worth air memorial park is trying to obtain the Voodoo for their collection.

Hey Cozmo,

Tyler HAMM got the F-105, F-4, and T-33. I know there are other threads about where the other aircraft went. That being said, I can't say I remember where the T-28 went to - anyone know for sure?

Also, where did the M-114 and M-41 go?

The H-21 went to Florida.

Thanks, IIRC, the HH-43 went to an Air Force base in Texas. And I think the Crusader went to Vought. I sure would like to see the C-119 stay local-ish.

Very good question, especially for the M41. That one, and the one that used to be at Seawolf park in Galveston are the only examples I know of on public display in Texas. Now, both are gone.

Not a very good showing for the namesake of a favorite son.
