We're shipping off to Boston!
The Air Zoo is thrilled to announce that our FM-2 Wildcat restoration will find its new home with the Collings Foundation and the American Heritage Museum in Hudson, MA, just 20 miles west of Boston.
We are beyond excited to have the Air Zoo’s Restoration Team's hard work represented on the East Coast. With more than 50,000 volunteer hours invested over 10.5 years, this plane has become a labor of love. Make sure to visit this historic aircraft (and congratulate our volunteers) before it flies drives off to Boston!
Interesting... Originally destined for the National Medal of Honor Museum, which is currently under construction, I guess the museum decided they didn't want a Wildcat. And Collings with there connections was able to grab it.
So I wonder what this means for the ex-Dick Foote FM-2 currently on display there. It's scheduled to fly this year at an event, so maybe they will sell it afterwards? Since now they will have a beautifully restored static example? Or maybe keep both?
