FILE – Air Zoo Aerospace & Science Museum in Portage. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) Air Zoo History is coming to life at the Air Zoo in Portage.   For a decade, restoration teams at the Air Zoo have been working to restore a FM-2 Wildcat, that was lent to them.  Did you know that the FM-2 Wildcat was one of the U.S Navy's best fighter planes?  Playing a big, early role, in helping the Allies win the Pacific theater during WW II.  But how the plane was able to get into the hands of the Air Zoo is a story itself.
