This would look good on the farm, @Ted DuPuis.

Now THAT is cool! It would look nice outside of the Beechcraft Heritage Museum in Tullahoma.

This is the "windsock" at St. Maries Idaho (S72):

There is an old C150 on a pole at Lee’s Summit (LXT) that swivels with the wind. It is too far from the runway to make an effective wind sock, however.

@Shepherd flew F-100s. Shep you fly this one by chance? I don’t see any markings though...

 

[Ted]

Great idea, Mari!

@bradg33 you know of a donor I could use since that's a T-Bone?

You're just looking for an excuse to use that new trailer, and an excuse to buy a crane (or a heavy-lift helicopter).

@Laurie 's comment when I posted on Facebook asking if we could do this:

Yes! But the rotors are in the wrong spot on that helicopter.

It's 56-3819, a former Wild Weasel F-100F.

Cool, a Weasel. Wow if only that jet could talk. Don't if @Shepherd flew Weasels. Gen Bud Day did and was shot down.

Weasel drivers had big brass ones! Dangerous mission. Not that the others aren't.

Weasel drivers all had a death wish.
Some seriously good guys.
