| Ralph Morris , CA | Does anyone know what happened to the F4B-2 that used to be in the Tallmantz Air Museum at John Wayne (Orange County) Airport? After Paul Mantz was killed flying for the film "Flight of the Phoenix," his sister operated the museum for awhile, but eventually it was closed and someone said that airplane went to a museum in Florida. It was painted with the "Felix-the-Cat" emblem, and I know it was a -2 because it had the square rudder, as opposed to the -4, which has a rounded-shape rudder, like the one at Chino Air Museum. 01/31/2002 @ 23:00 [ref: 4230] |
