Ex French Navy 126882, seen here shortly after its arrival in the USA from France in Apr 1977. N91945 wore these markings briefly before being painted in the better known "angry bee" markings of VA-176 squadron. More recently seen in USAF Vietnam markings. It was a combat veteran but in the Korean War. Then went to the French air force and for a short time was with the Gabon air force from where it was recovered as a warbird.
