From Ken Ramsay:
A tornado damaged a two seat F-104 Starfighter at the Air Force Museum. They were going to scrap the aircraft. We (Kim) contacted the museum saying we would like the aircraft and could restore it for display. They agreed and last Thursday Jim, Dennis, Bill, Jerry and crew went south and recovered the aircraft. My thanks to Dennis for the recovery photos.
