Grumman F6F-5N Hellcat night fighter version, fitted with an AN/APS radar (fitted to the wing). This aircraft seen of the United States Navy Reserve (USNR), on the ground at the Naval Air Station (NAS) Oakland, California. I believe in 1950. Scanned from an original reproduced photograph from my collection, photographer unknown.

F6F-3 BuNo 25910 was delivered new to VF-38 in July 1943. The squadron saw combat in the Solomon Islands in 1943 & 44 while being land based. After returning to the U.S. in 1944, 25910 was stationed at NAS San Diego and NAS Jacksonville. It was assigned to the Carrier Qualification Training Unit at NAS Glenview, IL. in December 1944. On 5 January 1945 while operating aboard USS Sable, 25910 went overboard after a landing, with the pilot recovered uninjured. The a/c was retrieved from the lake in November 2009, restored at the museum, and put on display in December 2013.

There was some sort of an event taking place at the CAF SoCal wing the following day and so Minsi III was towed out of the hangar for an engine run-up and test. I wasn't allowed onto the ramp whilst the engine was running and so the pictures are quite back-lit. However, here she is being towed back into the main hangar after the tests were fininshed. This airframe fell into disrepair after WWII and was discovered as a derelict hulk in Minnesota with the data plate missing. As a result the true identity of the plane may never be known.

During WWII, this Hellcat was based at NAAS Santa Rosa, CA and assigned to VBF-11. Post war, it was used as a target drone but made a wheels up landing and was SOC during May 1956. Placed into storage upside down in a cradle at NAS China Lake. Over the following 17 years the wreck was stripped of almost all internal equipment and control surfaces. The hulk was transported aboard a Military Sea Transport to NEAM arriving in October 1973. Restoration was performed in Rhode Island over twelve years and completed in July 1992.
