ID help needed for Naval Aviation Museum aircraft, Please

[TimAPNY]

While I'm stuck home feeling like poo I decided to try and finishing labeling all my pictures from Pensacola last year.

Is this a PV-2C?



Any know what model SNJ this is and the Buno? This aircraft is located up in the Cockpit Play area.


THANKS for the help on PBY-5B FP216


I assume this is an S-3B (I know it is an S-3 I assume it is a B), anyone know the Buno. Google was not a help on this.


Any help with the model and Buno on this A-6?


Herc Help




I assume this is a B-25 possing as a PBJ. Anyone have the serial number or Buno? I think I recall this was a J turned into a D, Is that correct?


Anyone know the model T-38 this is and serial number or Buno?


Electra?


THANKS! TRD-1 does this have a Buno?



Model and Buno needed for these Helos

The "white top" helo is a Presidential VH-3.

The S-3 is the one and only NAVY 1 ! Don't know the BuNo.

That cutaway PBY is the one that was imbedded into the building during WWII. It was used for survival lectures. They were able to save it when they demoilished the building.

The PBY is FP-216 and more info on her can be seen here

The B-25 is a bunch of parts of different aircraft. I worked on that project at Air Heritage cleaning the rear fuselage out. There are alot of real B-25D and PBJ parts in that restoration, but the starting point was a J model. That gray C-130 is the one that landed on the air craft carrier.

With a little research found the information on item # 10.
The Lockheed 10 is c/n 1130, ex VH-MND, N4886V, and last N # was N19HL

Not to be pedantic, but the RAF serial for the PBY-5B should be labled FP216, not FP-216. Small but significant nomenclature difference.

Cheers,
Richard

Thanks for all the help.

I guess I'm ready for round 2, The Pre-WW2 aircraft.

Did anyone notice that the nose wheel on the PBJ (b-25 ) is turned backwards??? the lower part of the strut can caster 360 if tow pin is in.
Someone here must know someone in Pensacola that can let them know
it just looks goofy.

[Holedigger]

That's just the way those Navy Boys do it! Just like strapping planes down by their prop!
