| 66-0286 is the third hard wing F-4E off the production line, she was the first thunderbird from 1969-1973 and finished out her career as a test aircraft here at Edwards AFB CA. in 1991. She was loaded onto a tractor-trailer and trucked to Battle Mountain NV. There she languished in disrepair. I am glad to see that she “Julie” has found a more dignified home here in NJ.
