F4B-4
« on: January 31, 2020, 11:35:39 AM »
Flight ops in 1934, Boeing F4B-4's of VFB-6B warming up on the Saratoga. There are a lot of spectators; officers and enlisted watching the evolution.

Agreed.  I believe they had one of those hanging in Air and Space before they did their renovations.  Hope it's there when they're done.

Can you imagine how much fun it would have been to fly one of those?

Look at the shoes on the deck crew. wow. Things have definitely changed.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
