I flew to the air show there at Ellington in 1991, called the Wings over Houston Air Show. The Cougar was sitting in a hanger during the show, and vanished the following day. It had previously been at Santa Monica in California for an aviation auction by the Museum of Flying (David Price) and failed to reach it's minimum bid, as I recall.
: This airplane was in the Southwest Services hanger for a l
: ong while at Ellington Field here in Houston. She looked o
: utstanding and was painted in a typical Navy gloss gray on
: gloss white paint scheme. It is my understanding that the
: flight it departed on from Ellington was the flight that
: it also disappeared on.
