Can anyone shed some details about a F9F Panther seen travelling in Rhode Is?

On a trailer or under its own power?

Hmmm... interesting...

IIRC the Quonset Air Museum received the remains of the formerly airworthy Art Wolk example for restoration to static display. I wonder if they sold it off or it was heading out for work?

Was the example you saw painted? The last I saw of the Wolk Panther the paint was good it was just all banged up.

From that angle it looks to be in decent condition. But we need some close up shots I think.
