Hope I posted this in a good space. Thunderbird Was purchased by the Lone star flight Museum in 1987. My father and I would drive over to Hobby airport and the pictures of it through the opening in the hanger door. This was prior to their museum opening in Galveston. We did not know at the time about the new museum.
The museum sold Thunderbird in 2020. She is currently in Oregon for a major overhaul. I have attached her updated status. Her nose art has been painted over. Waiting to see her new name.
