# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Giving Tuesday - F-89B Scorpion Fundraiser 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 02 Dec, 2025 at 06:00 am – Tue, 02 Dec, 2025 at 09:30 pm
- **Event Description**: The F-89 was constructed in 1949 by the Northrop Aircraft Company. It was modified to an F-89A and then taken into Strength/Charge with the U.S. Air Force in January 1951. 

In March 1951, the new jet was transferred to the 2750th Test and Evaluation Group in Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton, Ohio. Here it was converted to an EF-89A and used as a testbed for the Martin D-1 four-gun swiveling turret. The entire nose section rotated as a unit, while the guns traversed through 105 degrees from the forward-facing position. The system was not adopted for production F-89s.

In November 1951, the jet returned to Northrop to be the very first jet converted to an F-89B model. 

Then, in December 1951, she was transferred back to Wright-Patterson for more testing.

After the jets' testing career ended, it was transferred to the USAF 4750th Air Defense Squadron, Vincent AFB, Arizona. It has markings applied of FV-434, 92434. 

After a long service career with the air defense squadron, she was retired in August 1955 to the USAF Airman Heritage Museum, Kelly Field (formerly Kelly AFB), San Antonio, Texas.

Today, this F-89B is the oldest surviving Scorpion on display at the Texas Air Museum - Stinson Chapter. However, we need your kind donations to bring her back to her full, colorful glory.   

What we need: 

1. Manufacture custom wing supports to hold the wings (they weigh 4,000 lbs. each) to the fuselage while cleaning, repairing, and installing all the mounting hardware. $900.00

2. Manufacture missing panels and manufacture the missing nose assembly (the Air Force keeps the experimental gun nose assembly).  $1,500.00

2. Clean, recondition, and repair the nose and main landing gear assemblies. We have the main landing gear tires, but no nose wheel. $800.00

3. Manufacture custom wheel stands to keep the aircraft off the ground. $600.00

4. Rent a crane to lift the aircraft onto the new display stands. $1,200.00

5. Lastly, we need funds for a complete paint application.  (est.) $12,000.00

6. Total needed:  $ 17,000.00
