She is one of the prototype Phantoms (YF4-H1 ) which is a rare old beast in the first place.

But how many prototypes of a jet are still flying?,plus she is an ex sage burner airframe so good luck to them i say.

…not to mention the Feds.
Collings foundation has to jume through many hoops to fly theirs, wonder what their position is on this group.

I wish them well but wonder if the hard part isn’t going to be the rebuild or even money, but surmounting the legal obstacles.

It will if they can afford $20,000 an hour!

Is that the one that has a 3 page feature in the current FP mag? 🙂
