VMF(N) 513 Flying Nightmares F3D-2 Skyknight

[Rhino]

A basic walk-around of the F3D-2 Skyknight at the National Naval Aviation Museum. The first night radar intercept/shoot-down by a USMC night fighter crew. Bagged a Yak-15!

Thanks Chris . I don't recall ever seeing one in person . Wasn't there the last time I visited the museum .

PS. You don't suppose that's supposed to say tail bumper instead of trail bumper .

Cheers, Christian B)

Beats me. Marines do things differently than USN personnel do.

Great pictures Chris.
Missed at our show, but I know how much you needed the vacation.
Loved the video of the blue birds you sent me.

This Dixie Flyer car-ride was all about "Fast & Noisy" Southeast Gassers in NC, Blue Angels in P-cola! Spicy food in Destin Fl. I tooted Alabama & Tennessee up fairly thoroughly on the RTB!
