great museum... don't know how this little town in remote California did it but lotsa great planes
Great article. Nice to see this A/C saved from the shredder.
The number and variety of aircraft stored at AMARC is amazing. I live in Tucson and it tough to not stare as you dive by.

Nice history lesson.
Cool, but they could have picked up the already restored 145310 from the other end of CA in French Valley. It's been waiting for a new home for several years.
As a former F-4 jock it's great to see another F-4 saved, especially such an iconic one. Sorry to say not many still exist. If I had won the $1.5 billion lottery I would be buying one today !
