I was being rushed and wasn't able to see the plaque for the plane.

Dauntless on it's nose.  That recently recovered F4U-1 is the Corsair.  Note the salmon colored primer of the early Corsairs.  That's a real piece of history

Thanks for the pics, the "F6F" can't be a Hellcat, the wheels are a dead give away.  The Hellcat wheels rotated and retracted into the wings. That's an F4F of some sort or possibly one built by general motors (FM-1, FM-2).   :)

he's referring to the corsair in the first pic. it looks like its sitting on some kind of supports and is missing its whole tail section. but you can easily see the gull wings.
