I spoke to Grumman today and they said it was ok to post any pics from them. So here goes, if this too many and its boring please tell me. As the originals are Tiffs I have to convert each to a jpeg so it will take some time to post. I have 2000 or so Grumman. Please give me some feedback.....These photographs came from the Archives at Grumman Memorial Park Calverton, Long Island, New York, my friend Leo Polaski spent many long hours scanning these...........what would be the chances of making a sticky for these pics? i see at least a couple hundred very good quality pics, seems a shame to lose them in the other topics..... how do I ask about that?? anyone in charge here?........a right click and save will give you photo info

No. Personally interested in the amphibs more than the cats etc, but it's all good.

It is not too large. I will be interested if you have any new photos of the F5F Skyrocket, one of my favorites, especially the first version.

Great pics! I fourth (may have lost count) the motion of posting more! I am very interested in the amphibians as well as the Wildcat.

Looking forwards to them.
