Displayed in the colours of VMJ-1, MCAS Atsugi, Japan, which operated this aircraft between February and June 1958. After briefly being placed in storage after withdrawal at Litchfield Park, AZ in October 1958, it was placed on show at various locations, at some stage the aircraft's original photoreconnaissance nose being replaced with the gun-equipped nose of a standard Banshee fighter. In 2012 it was loaned to Pima by the National Museum of the Marine Corps. This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
