Castle Receives A North American Rockwell RA-5C Vigilante

With help from Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake and Jameson Harvesting, a crew from the Castle Restoration Department disassembled and transported the aircraft from to The Castle Air Museum. The aircraft is BuNo 156615. Many thanks to all who contributed their efforts!

Thanks, it was a heavy wing with tight tolerances. With the possible exception of a MiG-17 which is no longer part of the museum's collection, all of Castle's aircraft are static display.

So much work just to move it around, I applaud all of you. Do you plan to fly it again?
