Grumman F9F-5 Panther

A flight of twelve Grumman F9F-5 Panther.
F9F-5 from VF-192 (« Golden Dragons », tail code B).
Note the three wheel jeep.
F9F-5 Bu 125598, the #209 of Brubaker.

A fake recon variant with a painted glass to figure a camera next to the code 21.

McDonnell F2H-3 Banshee

F2H-3 Banshee of VC-3 -tail code: NP- and of VF-193 -tail code: B-.

A glimpse may offer you to see a F2H-2P in this general view of the USS « Oriskany » (CV-34), on the right (sorry, I've missed the good shot as the recon variant is slighty out of the right border).

The 'missing' Banshee should be in blue, below next to the grey one visible here.

Sikorsky HO3S-1

Douglas AD-4 Skyraider

Grumman TBF Avenger

An unidentified Avenger could be seen on the right lane, first row. Maybe a ASW TBM-3W ?
