I met the family in Chicago for the weekend and got a chance to get some pictures of Bu 10575 on display at the Midway airport.

Cool pics. Of all the times I have flown out of Midway, I didn't know that was there until 2 years ago! I about fell over! You can almost reach up and touch it.

Still haven't found the Wildcat at OHare yet. It's hard to convince the Mrs to go to the airport even earlier to look for an airplane. :lol:

Maybe someday they will open the dive brakes and tilt the plane in a more menacing position.

Didn't it have a bomb installed at one time?
Aren't car/truck tires installed?
Seems odd.
