On display at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, National Air and Space Museum. The FB-5 was Boeing's first true carrier-borne fighter. This model saw service with VF-1 on USS Langley, VF-6B aboard USS Saratoga, VF-3B at San Diego and finally with Marine squadron VF-6M 'Red Devils'. Restoration of the aircraft was done by the USMC.
