My brother was driving through either Danville, VA or Roanoke, VA and saw the front fuselage section of an F-4 Phantom, painted in Thunderbird colors, on a trailer. IT was being pulled by big dualie pickup. Who's, what, and why????

Normally I'd say it was the F-4 simulator that can be seen at airshows around the Southern US: http://www.f4sim.com/index.html

But it says they were in Fort Worth, TX that weekend...

I am guessing it was Ben Gimberts "Plane" then: http://www.geocities.com/cap17.geo/BenGimbert.html

Ben Gimbert would be the guy. Spent the night with he and his wife on my winter " road trip". They live in western VA on the side of a mountain with a beatiful view ! Nice folks.

there was a simular rig that set up a few years ago at the cleveland air show, except this 1 was in blue angels colors. they shot pics of the kiddies with their thumbs up.

Any one remember one that was painted in camo colors? The deal was that eventually it was going to be put back together.
