This early US Navy night fighting equipped Hellcat served in the Pacific Theater in 1944. Rotated back to the USA as newer F6F-5Ns became available, the aircraft trained pilots until becoming an instructional airframe at NAS Norfolk. Forgotten until found in a container in the early 70s, it was saved from scrapping, displayed at the US Marine Corps Museum in Quantico, VA and loaned to the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in 2002. Traded for by the Collings Foundation in 2012, the aircraft is pictured shortly after a complete restoration and making it's first flight on July 15, 2019.
