It would be amazing to see this bird fly again.

Yea. Take the one from the museum here fix it up and we can see it fly in warbirds over LI :borat:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the cockpit, engines, and all avionics are taken out of the one at the AAM :( :(

[Perriwen]

I think, the odds are, the Collings foundation will be taking one out of the Boneyard or something of the like for restoring the airworthy aircraft.

Anyway, consider this..the Foundation already flies an F-4, A-4, UH-1, and a couple Mig-21s. If this thing gets flying, and add in the LSFM UH-1, A-1, and a couple A-26s as well...imagine the possibilities for the future of Vietnam re-enactments!

Well thats where the word restoration comes into play :borat: An F-105 at AAM fully restored and airworthy. It would look sweet. :D

I think this is an awesome idea. Too bad the Tomcat will probably not get the same chance here in the USA. I have a wood model of one right next to my computer down in Florida.

Fred I hope you don't mind I reposed your shot.
Is our reality the reflection that the REAL you sees?
