Museum to restore Ted Williams plane (Free Registration)
The Saratoga Foundation plans to display a refurbished F9F Panther which Boston Red Sox hitter Ted Williams flew while as a Marine Corps reservist in Korea.

The Saratoga Foundation recently bought a Panther jet that had been damaged in a crash landing at an air show ; it is 1 of only 9 Panthers remaining.

The foundation plans to bring the plane to Rhode Island and restore it with the same markings that Williams' plane bore: the tomcat logo of Squadron VMF-311.
