One of the advanced aircraft brought to the US at the end of WWII, this rare two seat Me-262 was studied by the Navy. Given the bu 121448, it was struck off strength in 1947 and displayed outside with other axis aircraft at NAS Willow Grove, PA. Rescued from the elements in 1993, it was dis-assembled by The Me262 Project as a pattern for Me-262 replicas under an agreement with the Navy to return it fully restored. It went back on display at the Wings of Freedom Museum, NAS Willow Grove , PA in 2001 before transfer to the National Naval Aviation Museum at Pensacola, FL in September 2010

This F2H-2P is wearing its correct Bureau Number but is painted as an F2H-2P of VMJ-1, which it was never assigned to. 126673 actually was assigned to VMJ-2 at Cherry Point, N.C. and later to VC-62 at NAS Jacksonville, FL. While with VC-62 it made a cruise aboard USS Coral Sea from March 1955 - August 1955. It was retired from USN service in July 1958. It was then transferred to Vero Beach, FL. where it was displayed in a park. It was acquired by the museum in 1989 and restored to its present condition. Under the nose are two aerial cameras on display.

On 6 April 1949 this AM-1 set an unofficial payload weight record for single engine piston a/c of 10,689 pounds. Over its short USN career it was assigned to Naval Air Training Units at St. Louis, MO. and NAS Atlanta, GA. After being stricken from use it was transferred to the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. Fortunately it wasn't used as a target and was transferred to the museum in early 1972. I took this slide not long after it had arrived and was in storage on the Naval Air Rework Facility ramp.
