Chattanooga F-101B

Thu Sep 22, 2011 5:06 am

A visitor to Lovell Field earlier this month found an empty concrete plinth where F-101B 59-0412 used to be.
Does anyone know what has happened to it? Restoration, or worse.....
Thanks,
Andy Marden

According to Major Marty Malone, It is at the new home of the 241st Engineering Installation Squadron at 6511 Bonny Oaks Drive, Chattanooga, TN 37416. They hope to do a refurb in the spring.

I was in Chattanooga two weeks ago and made a side trip to see the plane at it's old location. Of course it was gone. Leaving later, I was on Bonny Oaks Drive. Only after checking online when I got home did I realize I had passed by it's new location. :o
