On display at the San Diego Air & Space Museum in Balboa Park. This is the second of four Sea Darts constructed and the oldest surviving. Back in 1948, she was a very innovative and advanced design with a delta wing, two jet engines in the fuselage, and two retractable hydro-skis. This was almost certainly the only supersonic jet fighter seaplane type ever built.
