Hey there Armyjunk2...........looks like you had a splendid time at the museum.

The first shot in in the group above is US Navy 128424, an R6D-1Z, VIP VC-118.

Here she is in her VIP garb and not her present "coal hauler" gray scheme:

Image

128424 was delivered to VR-5 Sept 6, 1951. Donald Douglas rode on the plane flown by Douglas pilots for the acceptance ceremony at Moffett Field.

1954: 6 of the aircraft were converted at NARF Corpus Christie from PAX/Cargo to VIP. (R6D-1Z) (VC-118). 424 was completed and reassigned to VR-21 Barbers Point, HA. 424 was CINCPACFLT’s A/C 1966-69. Remained at VR-21 until VR-21 was decommissioned in 1976. 424 was then assigned to VC-1 and remained there until it was retired to NARF Pensacola for DEMIL and transfer to the Naval Aviation Museum in 1983.

Regards
Steve

Are you "effing" joking? : )

Keep them coming! Aviation site = aviation images! Great shots BTW.

And I DO appreciate your effort in uploading them, as well as the gentleman who scanned all the other great pix.

Saludos,


Tulio

Just catching up... Armyjunk, these are great. I can't get to P-cola for the forseeable future, but photos like this help make up for it.
BTW, the museum must really be running short on space if they have to mount the D558 on a wall. Or is that a previously unknown experimental landing system? :twisted:

Modern Era Aircraft This is all most all of the planes I saw at Pensacola, I could have missed a couple..... I have to say for the large number of planes they have it almost seems like someone thought of the photographer when placing them, only the indoor Catalina was hard to get a photo of....and they didn't even paint the ceiling black....nice well done museum in my opinion. They have a nice book showing color photos and a description of how most planes where acquired at the online bookstore I would recommend, its well worth the money and up to date........

Awesome pics man. I worked on that PBJ. When were these taken? I was there in April. Great museum and great people. There is a new building being built starting this fall I hear.
