US Navy Patrol bomber. Composite aircraft rebuilt by Hawkins & Powers at Greybull, using major sections from N2870G (s/n 66304), N7962C (s/n 59882) and N3431G (s/n 66313). Even though most of the fuselage by far came from N3431G, the resulting composite airframe was wrongly given the ID of 66304 / N2870G, presumably for easier paperwork for the delivery flight from Greybull to the museum.

It is hard to put into words the wonderful time I had at the National Naval Aviation Museum at NAS Pensacola. I wish that I had been able to schedule an extra day in order to visit without my camera to enjoy and learn from all the superb exhibits and multimedia displays.The Sioux is probably most familiar to me as the H-13 from TV's M*A*S*H fitted with stretcher carriers. Learning all about the type's Navy service would have been interesting but there was just no time.

This A-4 is in fact Vietnam combat veteran BuNo. 150076, which was the 1,466 th Skyhawk to come off the production line. She is painted as a genuine Blue Angels A-4 and is on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum in this fitting hometown tribute to the team.

This Marlin was accepted by the Navy in 1956 and joined Air Development Squadron (VX) 1. Over the next 11 years this aircraft served in a number of patrol squadrons, finishing its active career with VP-40, which in 1967 became the last squadron in the USN to be operational with flying boats.

This helicopter was constructed as a HRS-2 and TOC with the USN as BuNo 130151 in July 1952. She was converted to HRS-3 (CH-19E) by Sikorsky at San Diego in 1956 and continued to serve until retired and placed into storage ending up at MASDC as 2H0029 in 1965. She arrived at the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola for restoration in 1982 and is now on display as a USCG HO4S-3G/HH-19G.

Her service lasted only three years before joining the civilian register as N7654C, even serving time as a fire-bomber before being acquired by the National Naval Aviation Museum in 1980.

In 1940 it was clear that the US Navy would have to increase dramatically the number of pilots that were being trained. A varirty of types were used for this purpose and amongst them were 305 Falcons. This example, of what is a very rare type, now hangs in the magnificent National Naval Aviation Museum.

This is the only SB2U extant and was delivered in July 1939, serving in patrol roles until it was transferred to Carrier Qualification Training Unit, Glenview NAS, IL. and assigned to the USS Wolverine (IX-64). It crashed a month later and sunk to the bottom of Lake Michigan, where it stayed until recovery in 1990. After restoration it is now on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum.

This priceless two-seater trainer version was captured intact in Northern Germany and after WWII sent to the Armament Test Division, NAS Patuxent River for tests and evaluation. Later she was used as the template for reverse engineering newbuild machines on the the 'Me-262 Project'. In return she was restored to this immaculate condition and, although the link to Naval aviation may be a little tenuous, I was more than thrilled to see her at the National Naval Aviation Museum.

This 'Bamboo Bomber' is painted with green engine cowls and sash to represent a JRC-1 Navy WWII era trainer and is on display at the wonderful National Naval Aviation Museum. It carries a fake serial (63426 was a Vought F4U-4 Corsair), and never served with the Navy. Ex USAAF 43-7995, then civil as N63426.
