Delivered to USN in September 1941 and assigned to VF-5 aboard the USS Yorktown. Transferred to VGF-27 in April 1942, and then to the Carrier Qualification Training Unit (CQTU) at NRAB Glenview in August 1942. On 21 July 1943 while taking off from USS Wolverine, the right wing struck a TBF Avenger on the flight deck, causing the F4F to swerve off the flight deck. The pilot was rescued uninjured. It was recovered from Lake Michigan on 26 September 1991. It is currently on display unrestored in the Sunken Treasures exhibit inside the museum as it was found in the lake.

On display in conjunction with a change of command ceremony at the National Naval Aviation Museum. The rotor blades were removed in order to move the aircraft into place. This is an active USN aircraft and not part of the museum collection. Although marked as a USMC aircraft, it is actually assigned to the USN. As USN, USMC, and USCG flight students go through training together some aircraft are marked as Marine or Coast Guard to honor those branches of Naval Aviation.

Acquired by the museum in 1988, this is C-46A 43-47350 marked as R5C-1 BuNo 39611. As this C-46 never was assigned to the USMC and the Air Mobility Command Museum at Dover AFB, Delaware did not have a C-46 in their collection, the aircraft was transferred to Dover in May of 2023. It is currently undergoing restoration there.

This slide was taken at the Blue Angels hangar at Pensacola not long after the Blue Angels mid-air collision at NAS Lakehurst, which was the last time the F-4s were used by the team. In 1974 153084 was transferred to NATC. Later it was converted to a EF-4J and assigned to VAQ-33 from 1976-80. It was then converted to a DF-4J, spending 1983-85 at PMTC. Retired in 1985 and stored at AMARC.

From 1974 this S-3 served VS-41, VS-21, VS-29, VS-31, VS-35, VS-33 and was back with VS-35 by 2000, as displayed nowadays. In 2002 it was deployed aboard USS Abraham Lincoln, logging combat missions over Iraq and is notable as the aircraft which was the first ever to land a US President on a carrier when it carried George W Bush aboard in May 2003. Two months later it was fried to Pensacola for preservation

From 1974 this S-3 served VS-41, VS-21, VS-29, VS-31, VS-35, VS-33 and was back with VS-35 by 2000, as displayed nowadays. In 2002 it was deployed aboard USS Abraham Lincoln, logging combat missions over Iraq and is notable as the aircraft which was the first ever to land a US President on a carrier when it carried George W Bush aboard in May 2003. Two months later it was fried to Pensacola for preservation
