This is another of the super dioramas to be seen at the National Naval Aviation Museum and depicts 'Minsi III' (one of the aircraft in which Cdr. David McCampbell achieved 34 kills, the Navy's highest scoring fighter ace) being worked on by her ground crew on the lower deck of a carrier. In reality this a/c was delivered in July 45 and became N7865C after the war before being acquired by the museum in 1971.

This aircraft was delivered right towards the end of WWII being too late to see any action so languished for a year at NAS Tillamook before being SOC. Fortunately, she avoided the fate of most of her contemporaries, a date with the axeman, to wind up at the National Naval Aviation Museum during 1980.

The second production F6U Pirate was rescued from the New Mexico desert where it was relegated to weapons testing as a target. Restored by the volunteers of the Vought Aircraft Heritage Foundation, the early jet joined the National Naval Aviation Museum collection in 2012.

This venerable old aircraft flew 219 combat missions over Vietnam, concluding with the last ever combat mission by a Skyraider. During one of these missions this Spad scored one of the two jet kills by the type in the conflict. She is now ennjoyering her well earned retirement on display at the National Naval Aviation Museum.

In 1936 the US Navy acquired one example of the L-10 Electra (c/n 1052) and gave it the designation XR2O-1 and serial 0267. It flew as an executive transport for the top brass. That aircraft is now preserved at the New England Air Museum. The airframe seen here is ex-N19HL (which never saw any military service) and is displayed with a fictitious serial in the US Navy scheme in use at that time.

The Navy acquired a batch of six D-29As in 1930 and gave them the designator NT-1. A-8588 was the last of the six to be delivered and served until 1937 at NAS Pensacola and Quantico before before retired. In reality this is an unknown D-29 that was rather neglected in civilian hands for many years before being rescured, restored and put on display at the super National Naval Aviation Museum.

This GB-2 was ordered by the US Navy as 23688 but instead was transferred to the USAAF as 44-67723. Then served with the Royal Navy as FT474 and returned to the US Navy post-war as 32873 before passing into private hands (N9459H). She is now on display at the magnificent National Naval Aviation Museum where she wears the original intended markings of an aircraft assigned to the Naval Air Station Pensacola.

After the B-25 Mitchell Doolittle raid on Tokyo in 1942 the US Navy decided it should have some B-25s of it's own that were subsequently designated PBJs. This aircraft, stored in the storage compound of the National Naval Aviation Museum at Pensacola, is 44-29035 but painted in the markings of a PBJ-1D assigned to VMB-423 that crashed on the island of Vanuatu on 22 April 1944.
