A rusted F-14 Tomcat, forgotten for 14 years in Kansas, is getting a legendary makeover thanks to a passionate crew of volunteers who traveled from across the country—some even paying their own way—to restore it for America’s 250th birthday. Among them: a 17-year-old prodigy named Benedict Stuart, who charmed the lead restorer with his enthusiasm and questions on the road trip. Working nonstop for three weeks, they sanded, painted, and patched the historic jet back to glory. This Saturday, the restored Tomcat will debut at Rosie’s Bar and Grill, honoring both aviation history and the tireless dedication of its saviors.
