Taken on strength in 1958, this Skyray served with several USMC and Navy squadrons before stored at NAF Litchfield Park, AZ in 1963. Re-activated in 1965, it flew with the Naval Test Pilot School 1965 - 69 before it was struck off charge. Pictured on display at the USMC Air/Ground Museum, Quantico, VA, the aircraft was later transferred to the Flying Leatherneck Museum, MCAS Miramar, CA and restored. At the time of uploading, the museum is planning and executing a move to Irvine, CA.
