HOLY CR&P!!!

What a find... if the BuNo on Jerry's SNJ is accurate (and I don't think there's any provenance questions on it), this is one he||uva find! I bet they'd consider refinishing it in the original markings, too... any idea what that unit emblem might be on the side? Also, why would a Navy aircraft of that vintage have a tricolor rudder?

Great find Mike, thanks so much for posting this!

Here is a little more recent photo of her. This photo was taken on one of my more recent trips there. Their SNJ-4 is painted in her colors from the war. From what I was told that is.
