The Fort Worth Aviation Museum's Vought F8U-1P - later redesignated a RF8-G — Crusader, Navy Bureau of Aeronautics No. 146898, was built in 1960 in Grand Prairie, Texas. The aircraft was both delivered to and accepted by the Navy on February 26, 1960. It was made part of the collection of aircraft at the USS Alabama Memorial in Mobile, Alabama. In 2005 it was heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina and removed to National Naval Aviation Museum to be prepared for the bombing range at Eglin AFB. VMAP saved it from destruction, but the aircraft still needs restoration.

On display at the Fort Worth Aviation Museum is this Douglas A-4C Skyhawk. Douglas A4D-2N Skyhawk was accepted by the Navy on April 29, 1960. It carries Navy Bureau of Aeronautics Number 147715, c/n 12479, and was redesignated as an A-4C in 1962.

A special member of the Curtiss A-3 / O-1 / F8C Falcon / O2C Helldiver family, this plane had enclosed cockpits and spats. Originally N984V, it was delivered to the USN in November 1930 as a transport for the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Aviation, David Ingalls. It was designated XF8C-7, although the X is not painted here, and later XO2C-2. The plate on the cowling reads 'Curtiss Navy Hell-Diver'. The back side of the photograph suggests that it was flown by famous aviator Frank Hawks with actor Will Rogers as his passenger. The two friends were pictured together here on 30 January 1931, so the photo is assumed to have been taken at that time. Photo from: University of Texas at Dallas
