Here are a few more from McGhee-Tyson ANG base in Knoxville.

The Sabre isn't technically on a pole; it is on static inside the base and had just been restored at the time of this picture; it had spent years outside at a fairgrounds in Knoxville.

Here's a Cougar on a stick. This bird was at a rest stop on I-10 right across the border from Alabama into Florida as I recall. I took this photo pre-Katrina so I hope she survived the storm...

Do you know if she is still there Holedigger??

Although this is not a real aircraft, but a fiberglass replica donated by MARC, the 1941 Historical Aircraft Museum located in Geneseo now has its own Gate Guard.

:wink:

P.S. It is mounted so it swivels in the wind like a weathervane.

Nice shot of the Big Spring F-4E Cliff. Where is the first F-4 on display?

Thanks too for your pics of F-80C in Kansas you posted!

-Derek

p.s. - How are things at IPMS - El Paso? I was a member with you in the late 80s/early 90s. Remember meeting at the German Community Center at Ft. Bliss? You may remember me, I was in my teenage years back then :)

Hey Derek!

The F-4D is at the airport in Hastings, NE.

Glad the F-80 shots were of use, I check the museum everey few years to make sure it is still there. :wink:

We no longer meet at the German Community Center, we now meet at St. Pauls Methodist church on Edgemere. And we have a meeting this Sunday! You are always welcome.

Since someone awoke this ancient zombie thread, I might as well mention that the B-25 from the Minnesota amusement park is now at the WWII museum in New Orleans.
