Museum's F9F on the move

The museum's F9F shows years of neglect.
Volunteers have moved the museum's Grumman F9F Cougar from a storage yard on Eastern Avenue to Strawberry Point.  Eventually, the jet engine will be removed and restored for display.  Plans call for the fighter either to be restored. or converted into a Navy jet simulator. As always, people are invited to volunteer their services to accomplish the Cougar's final mission.
