Post by: curry1 on March 12, 2011, 10:48:35 PM: The "F6F" is a F4F I believe.

Post by: camnite on March 12, 2011, 11:41:47 PM: no this was the F4F

kinda surprised noone noticed the disassembled corsair in the first pic, also I couldn't id the plane that was sitting on its nose, any ideas?

Post by: Guppy35 on March 12, 2011, 11:59:48 PM: 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.

Post by: icepac on March 20, 2011, 01:25:54 AM: My dad flew 6 combat missions in that skyraider on exhibit.

What's strange is that they have a 3350 engine with power recovery turbines in front of the skyraider but the A1 never used it.

Post by: camnite on March 20, 2011, 06:25:25 AM: planning on goin back here in couple weeks alone. hard to enjoy it with multiple people. might try to get into their resto area and take some pics.
