Photo Comment
Even getting into the Pogo's cockpit was hazardous. Photo presumably taken on 4 November 1954 when James 'Skeets' Coleman gave a flight demo for members of the press at then NAAS Brown Field. 138649 was the only XFY to fly. Serial worn on the other side of the tailfin. Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution This photo was added on 26 October 2021, and has since been viewed 4130 times.
