Good stuff. So it was moved from the museum to the street festival? Cool.

Thanks…I guess they towed it over there somehow…it’s only a mile or so from the museum to Addison Circle Park.

Certainly makes for an odd sight!

Yeah, I live in the building next door to this and was kind of shocked when I walked out and discovered a fighter jet. I was like "When did I move to 1992 Belgrade?"

Haha, is this the only a/c they brought? I worked for them long ago and it was fun towing the planes across Addison road.

Yeah, it was the only one they brought, but it was a nice change from the usual biplane they cart out for these things. The funny thing is, I’ve lived in the area for several years and have yet to go to the museum–I’ve been to like every other museum in DFW but for some reason haven’t gone to the one down the street. And I really enjoy aviation, so I don’t really have an excuse.
