Volunteers and staff at the Oregon Military Museum spent most of the day on June 2, 2026, moving and installing the F-4 Phantom II Fighter Jet at the Oregon Military Museum, at Camp Withycombe, in Happy Valley, Oregon. It was challenging at times, with one of the rear tires getting stuck in the lawn and some tight angles as the jet was moved from the maintenance area at Camp Withycombe to its new home adjacent to the main entrance. The jet will be repainted in the future as it is restored to its original color details from its days flying with the 142nd (Fighter Interceptor) Wing.
