Before Restoration

In 1973, Major General Paul Fontana, Commander of MCAS Cherry Point dedicated an F-11 Grumann aircraft to the City in recognition of the close relationship between the City and MCAS Cherry Point. The aircraft, on display in a public space adjacent to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, is in need of restoration.

After Restoration (Projected)

The Swiss Bear Connectivity Committee is working to raise funds to restore the F-11 to its original Blue Angel colors and relocate the jet for public display to a more prominent location in Lawson Creek Park as a tribute to the local military, past and present. The goal is to complete the project in time for the City's 300th Anniversary Celebration. For more information or to contribute to this project, email director@swissbear.org
