SCORPION SQUAD F-89 FIGHTER RESTORATION TEAM

Photography by Jack Tyson, volunteer at the Selfridge Military Air Museum and esteemed member of the "Scorpion Squad".
Taken in 2012 during the reassembly process of the museum's latest outdoor display acquisition, these images show the Scorpion Squad at work.
This Cold War aircraft is the Northrop F-89J fighter which will be displayed as an F-89C fighter with period USAF markings.
This F-89 Scorpion was shipped to Selfridge Air National Guard Base in April of 2012 and offloaded to the work site where the first phase of the reassembly process began.
Ten seasoned, hand-picked volunteers of the Selfridge Military Air Museum were assigned to the project, which is now approximately 90% complete. It can be seen in its designated placement at the museum's outdoor air park.
The Scorpion Squad is busy at work on the finalization of this exhibit. This Cold War fighter will soon feature a full set of bold and colorful markings along with the other 30 aircraft at the Selfridge Military Air Museum.
