Thanks Dmitry. It is the only US Marine Aviation museums in the world. They are
fundraising to build an exhibition hall and indoor display area for most of these
aircraft. Just a great place to visit. Thanks for taking the time to check out the
photos!

Very strange aircraft, never knew it had existed! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Ricardo. The Douglas F3D Skyknight. The F3D was designed as a carrier-based all-weather night
fighter. The Skyknight played an important role in the development of the radar-guided
AIM-7 Sparrow missile. It also served as an electronic warfare platform in the Vietnam War
as a precursor to the EA-6A Intruder and EA-6B Prowler. Some Vietnam War U.S. Marine
veterans have referred to the Skyknight as "Drut", whose meaning becomes obvious when read
backwards...HaHaHa. This may be in reference to its age, unflattering looks or its
low-slung air intakes that made it vulnerable to foreign object damage
