FH-1 Survivors?

[Saabmeister]

Other than the FH-1 at the National Air and Space Museum, and the one at the National Museum of Naval Aviation, are there any other FH-1's left?

The Wings of Eagles Museum(ex: Natonal Warplane Museum) in Elmyra, NY, has an FH-1 on display along with a Banshee.

WOE or what ever they are this week, lost the FH-1 and F2H? Glad I know that, I always wanted to take t trip down to get a nice walk around on them. I guess that road trip might require a bit more time now.

Tim;
I didn't say they "lost" them. The last I saw them (1999) they were still there. The two aircraft were ID's as follows:

McDonnell FH-1 ( Phantom) - Serial No. -111768; Display
US Navy Fighter; Owner: US Marine Corps

McDonnell F2H-2P ( Banshee) - Serial No. -125690; Display
US Navy Reconnaissance; Owner: US Marine Corps

They were recovered from the disbanned display that was at Cherry Point. They are both still listed on the website:

Blue skies,

I think I'm getting Museum names confused (I was thinking it may have moved to NM).

So where did the two aircraft form NWP go?

This was one of three that were owned by a flight school (two registered and flying and one used for spares); is this the one at Pensacola now?
