Wildcat In Kenosha

Posted on January 25, 2013 by mwflyer

KENOSHA, WIS. – On December 7, 2012, A&T Recovery brought a Grumman FM-2 Wildcat up from the bottom of Lake Michigan, 45 miles from Waukegan Harbor, Illinois. The aircraft crashed in December 1944 while being flown off an aircraft carrier or floating platform for training purposes. EAA member, Charles Greenhill, provided the funding, and is temporarily hangaring the aircraft at Kenosha Municipal Airport until it is transported to the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida, where it will undergo complete restoration. Persons interested in seeing the aircraft at Kenosha Municipal Airport should call 262-658-4577 to make an appointment (http://www.eaa.org/news/2012/2012-12-12_enthusiasts-invited-to-see-rescued-wildcat.asp).
