My parents live in Poplar, my dad knew Dick's brother Carl. Second pic from the bottom, is that the plane that was in West Duluth on Grand Ave?

Something to do with One can;t have machines of war in a children's park.. So the F94 went back to FANG. The T33 over at the American Legion on Grand was found by FANG as a replacement.. |
