.......photo. This photo taken, today, behind our daughter-in-law's grandparents' house in Callaway, Florida. Don't have a clue where it came from but know where it is now. That's our son.....looking in the cockpit for the keys.

I suggest turning it into a unique BBQ grill.

There are several places that use old military airplanes as attention getters along hiways. I’d be willing to bet that is where it came from.

Agree, that looks like a F-15 Eagle display piece, not operational. There are a few Air Force bases in the area.

My nephew and his company are down in the thick of it, cleaning out, repairing etc. that is what his company does.

I did some research. It's a static display that came from Veteran's Park in Callaway. A shame that it was damaged.

Yep......That's GOTTA be it as you can see what appears to be the same fencing in both pictures.

It is it, same tail number.

I imagine so. I am baffled by the paperwork he has to do and has done. this is not his first storm. I am also baffled by the amount of paperwork all the house insurance companies have to do etc. But of course does not pale at the huge stress on those folks, and the deaths of many. Friend of mine bought a house in Florida couple years ago, she was saying the first thing anyone does down there is find out home insurance cost in that area, they are huge per year. Personally, would not want to live in Florida. Not forgetting North Carolina or South Carolina. We had gone looking in those two areas, and discovered one thing that we cannot tolerate, its called the Bug line, some where just inside of South Carolina is when in the summer bugs come out like crazy. The folks wear dryer softener sheets in their hats to keep them away. They say you can see clouds of them just moving about. So we nixed that idea in a hurry. Love my area, very little bugs.

After a little more research, it didn't go far at all. It only flipped over, but still at the same location within veterans park.

I have never heard it so accurately described as "The Bug Line". Brilliant!

I have made SEVERAL trips into the Southport, Youngstown and Lynn Haven areas (all well within 10 miles of P.C) since the hurricane for the company I work for. The devastation is unbelievable and THESE eyeballs, that have been wandering around on this big blue ball for 65+ years has NEVER gazed on destruction of this magnitude and scope before. Recovery, at this point to me, seems unsurmountable.

Recovery is the wrong word. They are starting over.

IT was said on one of the news casts that it would take a generation to rebuilt. and from the looks of what I have seen looks that way. just getting rid of the wreckage. the other thing, what if another hits again in that area during this process, it could happen. Sad for them all.
