Please reference this link to the fabulous gallery of West Newsmagazine’s photos documenting the F/A-18 E1 Super Hornet dedication at The National Museum of Transportation on August 3, 2024. Reference Boeing’s short video here to watch the 1995 flight from Lambert field and then the Super Hornet’s installation dedication at TNMOT.
To listen to Tim Bischoff’s Big 550 KTRS-AM August 1, 2024, excellent interview, click here and slide to 37:30 and listen through 52:10, to hear about the back history of TNMOT’s Super Hornet, including its deliverance from being assigned to the Tucson, Arizona, boneyard or even more tumultuous, a scrapyard. Our McDonnell Douglas built airframe was spared by Boeing and donated to TNMOT through a loan arrangement from the National Aviation Museum. Future Phase 2 plans are mentioned which look to possibly include adding stairs up to the cockpit for a more intimate view of the interior, and perhaps 3-D printing of the inside cockpit instruments. Exciting!
