This was the fifth F-14 to be produced and was one of the prototypes allocated for flight and systems testing. Now on display outside the wonderful National naval Aviation Museum, indeed when mounted on this pedestal she became the first ever Tomcat to go on public display

Possibly one of the most interesting/informative exhibits in the whole of the National Museum of Naval Aviation is this PBY cutaway. Fascinating to see the different crew positions and how they were able to do their jobs.

This F4U had a relatively long service life for a WWII era prop serving from 1946 to 56 before being SOC. She then languished somewhat in California before being acquired in 1985 and restored by the wonderful National Naval Aviation Museum, where she is displayed in the colours of a VMF-312 'Checkerboards' aircraft.

Part of the floorspace in the West Wing of the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola is given over to a representation of the deck of the Independence-class carrier USS Cabot (CVL-28). it is a fabulous museum and well worth the long journey for me to visit!

The FJ-2 Fury was developed as a swept-wing, carrier capable fighter from the F-86 Sabre (the similarities are evident). Of 200 built very few are extant and this one is displayed at the National Naval Aviation Museum in the markings of an aircraft assigned to the Naval Air Test Center, Patuxent River, although, in reality she was based for her entire service life in California and Hawaii.

The FJ-2 Fury was developed as a swept-wing, carrier capable fighter from the F-86 Sabre (the similarities are evident). Of 200 built very few are extant and this one is displayed at the National Naval Aviation Museum in the markings of an aircraft assigned to the Naval Air Test Center, Patuxent River, although, in reality she was based for her entire service life in California and Hawaii.

A very rare Brewster Bermuda built for the Royal Air Force but cancelled before delivery. Diverted to the US Army Air Corps, it was among several Bermudas scrapped at Tullahoma, TN and abandoned. Recovered by David Tallichet / Yesterday's Air Force, the remains were eventually traded to the National Museum of Naval Aviation for a Grumman Wildcat. Restored by 60 former Brewster Aircraft employees it has been put on display at Pensacola in US Navy markings as a SB2A-1 Buccaneer.
