I am looking for the identifcation of this F9F...
Aerial Visuals - Airframe Dossier - F-9 Unknown
If any is curious regarding the location, it is nearby the B-17 Desert Rat restoration location...
Aerial Visuals - Location Dossier - Marengo Metal Works
Is this the F9F that was once stored outside at the Flying Tigers Warbird Restoraiton Museum in Kissimmee, FL?

Yes, it is.
It's an F9F-8P, looking for a home,
or someone to donate $$$ to get it
to static condition.

It reminds me of one that used to sit next to a hangar at Breckenridge, TX back around 1982-1983.

Thanks for the confirmation. I have added a picture of it at Kissimmee to the airframe dossier...

Didn't the one at Breckenridge have a lot of holes in it though? I seem to recall it came off a firing range.

You can't see it from the road, unless you're coming from town.

I'm going to blame corn fields really (that or my memory.) I usually try to come the "back" way home just to drive by there once in a while from my sisters house to see if anyone is out there, and of course I've never timed it right yet.
