Bit of a plug for a small but brilliant museum in my opinion:

Nice set...great to see some of the old aircraft being kept up. Hope that Tomcat can get to fly demos at airshows some day like the F-4 and F-86.

I wish, the reason for it was because she was SARDIP'd (Stricken Aircraft Reclamation Disposition Program) prior to all the rule changes, meaning she has her instruments and engines, ejector seats etc.
was nice to be able to sit in the beast :D
