Hey Tulio,

There is an F9F-5 sinking into the soil at the airport in Winona, Minnesota also. The folks at the airport would REALLY like to see it go away too. It seems that the City of Winona moved it there from a park that they had in town, because they were concerned about liability issues (kids climbing on the jet and then falling off, etc.), and the people at the airport were "blessed" with the old "eye sore". But, as the U.S. Navy still retains ownership, it cannot be sold/given away by the city.

So the poor old gal is just going to rot away I guess. I have photos of the Panther if anyone is interested.

On another note, Tulio, my good friend, would you kindly e-mail me at the above address? I have some questions about some Mexican T-28's that I think you went and looked at. They were owned by a Mr. W. Nelson if I remember correctly.

Thanks, and have a GREAT day!!

Steve
