Canopies Stolen

Tue Mar 13, 2007 8:16 pm

The Ed Kaleta F4H-1 project was recently sold to a fella here in Texas. Apparently the aircraft is now in this guy's front yard. He had the canopies ( ultra rare ) on the ground next to the airframe and some lowlifes stole them. Apparently the FBI is now involved in the investigation.

Can't have any F-4 parts get out to Iran, ya know. :lol: Never mind that the canopies won't fit any of the later models.

If you are waiting for the FBI to find them, FORGET IT. They need a canopy snitch and the parts delivered to their offices.

I'd say start looking at the local scrap yards.

Best of luck finding them

Grounds for a good old fashioned flogging.

Keep watching Ebay.

Ditto. I'm a cop and they'll steal anything that's not nailed down so they can turn it in for scrap to get a few bucks for some dope. And I'm not talking fabric dope!

Someone should report this auction to the FBI. Doesn't hurt to investigate!

The canopy in the Ebay auction is a standard profile canopy. The canopies that were stolen were the earlier flat type from the F4H-1 series.
