Yes, it was in the park at the bottom of Cody street at Grand Ave.. If I recall, it came down when the streets in that area/park was redone.. 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.. |

Airplane Park, Anaheim, Ca.
They have a Grumman F9F-6P Cougar, Model G-93, BUNO 127484 that's used as a children’s play thing in Boysen Park, Anaheim, CA. My dad used to take me and my brothers out there to play. Stored at Litchfield Park before it was rescued by the City of Anaheim November 1959. The jet was placed in what is now Boysen Park with the cockpit controls intact and the storage areas open for crawling and exploring. After several years, metal had started to warp and sharpen at the edges. In 1967 it was layered in metal mesh, then covered with a two-inch thick coat of gunite, a mixture of cement and latex glue. The cockpit controls and seat were removed, and the crawl spaces were sealed off.
