Apparently G. Willie, the intrepid pilot of the DC-3 displayed near Interstate 4, near Polk City, has gone missing and is feared kidnapped. G.Willie was originally displayed hanging from the tail of the Fantasy Of Flight landmark which was arranged in a nose-down orientation in 1998. Frequent calls to 911 by concerned motorists, who thought it was a real crash, prompted FoF to rearrange the aircraft in a less startling manner. G. Willie was removed from his precarious perch and installed in the much more comfortable cockpit.

G. Willie was last seen on July 17 and sometime during the night this poor fellow was removed from the aircraft by unknown thieves. Thier are currently no suspects in the heinous crime.

Warbirds-Online will report further as details become known.
