Looks legit, but it would be nice to see some pictures.

I would suggest the Collings foundation try for it. :)

IIRC this is who the CF got the F-100 from.
I think this person was trying to get enough parts to put a 106 together.

Then may I suggest that these guys obtain the 106's. http://www.starfighters.net/#!__page-0/vstc1=slide-3
It would mirror there 3 F-104's perfectly. One two seater and two single seats.

There is only one engine to go with the three airframes. Getting 2 more J-75's is not something you can just go to the corner store and pick up.

These are the three aircraft that are owned by the guy who owned the F-100F that The Collings Foundation now operates.

I would love to see someone or a group buy this package and put a Delta Dart back in the air again, but as mentioned the fact that they only have ONE J-75 engine in the package is probably the biggest hindrance to the project.

it would be great if the collings foundation bought it!! they have the money & resources to restore it to flyable.

Nice pics Cliff. Where is Mr. Durand place located. I tried Google searching all over Alb but no luck. It seems as though he has a whole air force for sale.

I believe these are all ex-drones. I'm not sure, but would think all the drone mods would have to be removed (which are considerable) before the FAA would even consider certifying one of them.

The P&W JT-4D (DC-8) is essentially a non burner civilian version of the J-75-and I doubt you could get away with an operating AB as a civilian aircraft.
