That from a very reliable source.

I'm not sure that I would want to use a razor blade made
from aluminum.

Its what I have heard as well,
except for the approx- 88 De-milled ones in museums
they don,t want the Iranians to get ANY parts for the Tom-Cat at all so
IIRC: even those have been stripped of any useable parts..

We have one of the 88 at Seattle's Museum of Flight. Repainted by the
museum; not sure it ever wore this scheme in real life, it was in the
barfy 'tactical gray' scheme when it arrived.

:-( I've had to pull my leg of the trip to Seattle. Wont be able to fit in
everything I want to do.
although, if the snow keeps falling, I may not be able to drive from Wyoming
to Masachusettes so may have to look at doing Seattle :-)

But I really want to do the drive across the top.

We are the last bastion against the Canoodlian hordes!

We've been skirting with late winter snow in the region this week,
too. Virtually nothing in the city, but as much as 16" just a few
miles out of town. May not be done yet, but...

Well, looking at the Tillamook Air Museum web site and the list of AC
in their collection, it seems what you have there is F14A, BuNo. 159848.
http://www.tillamookair.com/html/air_craft_list.html
http://www.f-14association.com/display-159848.htm

Now as to whether this is a static display, or not I have not been able
to find out. I suspect Tillamook would be able to provide that info.
All I can tell you is, this AC never passed through AMARC.

BTW: the example of F14B at our local Estrella War Bird Museum, in
Paso Robles, was flown in, and is still currently listed as a static
display.

Aagh! What was I thinking?
Now that I really see what you were getting at, I have to admit I am
somewhat baffled. I guess the answer lies in one of two places,
Yillamook AM, or Bill Proffitt, where ever he might be.
