Built as F3D-2 (F-10A) Bureau Number 124598. Converted to a EF-10B version in 1962. After retirement from USMC the aircraft was loaned to Raytheon Corporation for research (with US Army markings.) In 1987 it was finally retired to the National Naval Aviation Museum. In 2016 the a/c went through restoration and was repainted. VMF(N)-513 had this scheme on one of their F3Ds in Korea. Their number "13" F3D had been lost in action so the replacement was given the 12 7/8 in hopes of better luck.

This Curtiss A-1 Triad replica was one of two constructed in San Diego in 1961 for the 50th Anniversary of Naval Aviation. This one is a non flying exact replica, using the same materials as the original A-1 including an original Curtiss 75 HP V-8 engine. The other was a flying replica, which had some modifications for safety reasons, as it was flown in the 1961 anniversary airshow over San Diego Bay. The flying replica was lost in the San Diego Air & Space Museum fire in 1978.

Originally delivered to USN as PB2Y-3 BuNo. 7099, later converted to PB2Y-5R. Sold surplus in 1946 to Hughes Tool Co. and registered NR69003. In 1973 Hughes donated the Coronado to the museum. This slide shows the condition it was in when received. After a multi year restoration the PB2Y-5R is now on inside display in the WWII gallery.
