Whose FJ-4B?

Hello,

I am hoping somebody on this forum can assist with identifying this FJ-4B that was seen last month in the Navy Heritage Flight at the Reno Air Races. I am particularly interested in who owns and flies it. I did not see it listed in the registry.

Thanks,

I'm assuming it's this one...N400FS (Bu 143575), the only FJ-4B listed as airworthy and with an FAA registry:

I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE X-FLIGHT SYSTEMS BIRD?!?

Thanks Randy,

Those numbers match up if I zoom in close on the tail.

As your caption says - Dr. Rich Sugden owns the plane - he also owns a number of military a/c - a Grumman Albatross, T-28, and a couple T-2 Buckeyes. They are based out of Idaho - Teton Aviation if I remember right.

The FJ-4B was a featured plane in Air and Space a few issues back - Tyson Rininger (SP??) took some incredible photos of it with a F/A-18.
