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.

Originally built for USAAF as P-51D s/n 44-74452. After USAAF/USAF service it was transferred to the Royal Canadian Air Force, and eventually ended up with the Guatemalan Air Force. Repatriated back to the U.S. and was in private storage from 1972-2001. Restoration was completed in 2002. Note- the FAA site erroneously has this a/c listed as 44-75452. That s/n was allocated to a Boeing B-29.

Still basically in the markings of its last active unit, the Navy Recruiting Command. After leaving there, it was loaned to the Jacksonville Navy Flying Club w/FAA registration N20685. On 26 August 2000 it was involved in a landing mishap at NAS Jacksonville which damaged the right wing. It was then transferred to the museum in 2004 where it was modified for use in the Kiddyland area in the main building. Normally the canopies are open for access to the cockpits, but are currently closed due to Covid restrictions (2021). Originally built as T-34B BuNo. 143996.

The S-3B was temporarily located just outside Hangar Bay One to make room for a USCG ceremony being held inside. The numeral "1" after "Navy" on the fuselage is in recognition of this S-3 being the only USN a/c to have carried a sitting President of the U.S., that being George W. Bush. The a/c was transferred to the museum in 2003.
