The volunteers of the CAF Airbase Georgia (formerly the CAF Dixie Wing) have been working on the restoration of a Boeing N2S-2 Kaydet at their hangar in Peachtree City, Georgia since late 2019. The unit recently summed up their progress over the course of 2021, and we felt sure our readers would enjoy learning about their endeavors so far.

1959 McDonnell F4H-1F Phantom II for sale by Platinum Fighter Sales. Price Slashed. Restoration is 80-85% complete. The airframe has undergone a complete IRAN per U.S. Navy standards. Everything has been overhauled to 0-time condition. Needs engines overhauled avionics and ejection seats. Was $2,950,000. Now asking $1,500,000. Trades considered.
