Jerry Dewitt, chairman of the L&A Veterans Council and wearing an orange jacket at bottom left, joins other volunteers clearing snow from Veterans Memorial Park on Main Street in Lewiston on Tuesday for a tractor-trailer to deliver the wings for the Corsair jet, right. The United States Air Force museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio awarded the jet to the Council and it was delivered last summer. A fundraiser was recently completed with a donation by Del Gendron to transport the 40-foot wings from Montana where the jet sat idle for several years. The wings are expected to arrive Friday or Saturday and will be temporarily secured until spring when the jet will get a makeover and new paint.
