Air Force jet could land on U.S 90

Biloxi Mayor Andrew ‘FoFo’ Gilich is asking the U.S. Air Force Museum and the state highway department to allow a return of something from the city’s past: an Air Force plane on display on Highway 90.
A plane had been displayed in the U.S. 90 median near White Avenue decades ago. The plane is actually a decommissioned 1956 F-104 jet now on display at Keesler.
Mayor Gilich says it would serve as a symbol of the city’s support of Keesler and commemorate the 76 year relationship between the city and the base.
Keesler has also expressed its support for the idea and has offered logistical support for the move.
