Retired to AMARC with inventory code 6A0324 on 22 March 1990. The Corsair left the storage depot on 13 October 2009 for HVF West and was then scrapped. Attack Squadron (VA) 304 "Firebirds" was part of the US Navy Reserve and based at NAS Alameda (CA). It was established on 1 July 1970, and disestablished on 31 December 1994. The Corsairs were in their final days in a terrible toned-down grey c/s, this in combination with the well-known San Fransisco fog resulted in a less quality photo.
