This seems like a great advancement. Getting history out there around the country to be seen up close. Smart thinking on the Navy's part.

BUZZ! Sorry - thanks for playing. Audience, how many surviving F6F-3s are there, per the Registry?
"Six!"

Yeah, that's funny. Pretty sure the NMNA is loaning this one out because they recently finished the restoration of another F6F-3!

Hey, it's not being towed by a Dodge Ram pickup like we see in the commercial!

Nice looking airplane, and a great place for it! NASW Museum is a fine museum. I love their all-wood original hangar.

The Dodge Ram can only tow an F6F-5. It isn't rated for towing the F6F-3.
