Saturday, HFC rolled out it's newest artifact, a F105G Wild Weasel to go with it's Huey gunship for a Viet Nam era display. A number of Thud pilots were in attendance including 1 who flew HFC's plane. It was built as an F-105F but after extensive damage it was rebuilt as a F-105G.

Pretty cool, but... who/where is FHC/HFC? Not all of us know all of the museum code letters...

All of the acronyms should read "FHC", standing for the Flying Heritage Collection, located in Everett, Washington. The F-105 is on loan from the USAF Museum. The Heritage Flight Museum's Skyraider has been on display at FHC over the weekend too, as part of the Vietnam War display/veteran gathering.

What aircraft will arrive next; the Mosquito, the Me 262, the He 111?

What's this about an FHC He 111?

There has been rumors over the years of them having an He 111. Time will tell I guess.

The Mosquito, the Me-262, the P-38J, the Stuka (for which the Jumo 211 engine for it appears to be in the works right now - or perhaps one for the He-111 conversion project?) - a lot of interesting projects both in the works and projected for the future (Betty, Ju-88).

What about the FW-189 or the Messerschmitt 110 ? :shock:

I believe the Fw-189 is back across the pond with John Romain's Aircraft Restoration Company in Duxford, UK.

I'm guessing the Mosquito will be next to arrive as it's due to fly literally any hour now! Weather seems to be the issue today, heard no news of it this morning. It's 1416hr as I write this and I'm hoping for news before 1800.

I KNEW I saw the shape of a wingless/tailless thud under that white plastic wrap on a 18-wheeler passing north on I-5 recently!
Been meaning to ask if anyone knew where it was going but I assumed nobody would believe I could make out the shape under an AMARC/style plastic wrap...

Is Vintage V-12s doing the Jumo 211 work?

To be clear for others, the engine conversion with Jumo 211 engines would for Flying Heritage Collection's (FHC) Spanish built CASA 2.111 which has Merlin engines.

According to Preserved Axis Aircraft, FHC has a CASA 2.111B.

Don't mean to hijack the thread - but what is the status of the USAFM CASA 2.111 - it also mentions on the Classic Wings page that it is due for restoration with Jumo engines (first I had heard of that).
