Not Flying Navy Demon Jets Begin Southern Move
The Navy’s non flying Demon jets start the first leg of their southern trip for ground training. Twenty one planes costing over a million dollars each travel 16 miles by barge from McDonnell Aircraft to the Mississippi River, after engine power issues grounded them. Eight planes with folded wings moved Wednesday in two convoys by tractors, with delays from broken-down equipment. Sixteen jets go by barge to Memphis Naval Air Training Center and five to Pensacola Naval Air Station Florida.
