A curious raffle was found by some astute readers at the Warbird Information Exchange (WIX). It seems that a McDonnell Douglas F-4C Phantom is being raffled off by an organization in Alamogordo, New Mexico, but it is a static display plane only.  Take a look at the discussion at WIX to learn about the history of the plane and its curious story. From the looks of the website, the only way you can enter to win is by buying some F-4 merchandise… and a “travel voucher” of some kind.

There are some catches though… if you win it, you have to bring it home from NM yourself! And don’t think of flying it back either… this plane is for static display only and it is sufficiently demil’ed to assure it stays that way! I apologize to our readers in Florida and New York… you aren’t eligible… shucks!
