SuperCobra Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Yes it is a Corsair - I forget which museum though - I'll have to go back and look. I took that walkaround before the NMMC opened. Good job! It was in the Pensacola Naval Aviaiton Museum... There are actually three Corsairs in the NMMC. OK my turn again? I'd hate to take cuts... I'll post an easy one 'cause it's bed time...

jinxx1 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Here's a new one - the hint was already given... Where is that SBD displayed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SuperCobra Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Where is that SBD displayed? This one was in a quonset hut at the Quantico Air Ground Museum many years ago. I never noticed if it got moved to the new National Museum of the Marine Corps. I can look for it or ask about it. I've got another walkaround of one at the San Diego Aerospace Museum.
