Hi mate, hi everybody,

Great pictures !
There are some inaccuracies : plane 124419 is not an XF7U-1 but a production F7U-1 (BuNo 124415 through 124434).
The three prototypes were numbered 122472 to 122474.
The last photo of your last post shows an XF7U-3 (125410 and 125411)

Maybe 129580 or 129680, not 129880, last batch being 129523 to 129756 including 128745 to 129756 as F7U-3P.

Thank you

This is a neat machine and thanks for the photos, No.1.

If only more powerful engines had been developed when the airplane was in service it might have stayed in the fleet for longer. I don't think the pilots were all that sorry to see them go, though. When that extra-long nose strut failed landing on the carrier it would cause some severe back injuries.

Earl jet age is very interesting for me mate
