| \"DOC\" CRESCI walla walla, WA | THE FIRST (AND ONLY) TIME I SAW THE F3F, PROBABLY A -2 OR
LATER, WAS IN ORDNANCE SCHOOL AT NORMAN, Ok. WE HAD A CLASS OR TWO ON TIMING THE CAL..50 TO FIRE THROUGH THE PROP AND NOT HITTING THE BLADES. SOMETHING LIKE ALIGNING THE LOBES OF THE MECHANISM BETWEEN THE BLADES. SO MUCH FOR THE NOMEN- CLATURE! WENT TO PURCELL, Ok, THEN TO FORT LAUDERDALE, FL., WHERE I BECAME A TURRET GUNNER ON THE TBF-NEVER FLEW IN THE TBM UNTIL I HIT THE FLEET. 01/16/2002 @ 00:39 [ref: 4099] |
| Allen Whaites. Sydney NSW 2211, OTH | Could you please advise me of the fuselage colour of the Grumman F3F-2 you have on exhibition in your Museum.The photographs I am getting from your web page suggest that it could be light gray ,however I have always thought it was an aluminium colour.I am at the moment building a scale model of this aircraft so accuracy of the colour is quite important to me.
Many thanks & regards Allen Whaites 08/01/2001 @ 17:59 [ref: 2805] |

I've been searching for a long time now but I haven't been able to locate one .I do have one of a F2F but that's not exactly what I'm looking for. I want to design a radio control model of it. So if anyone can help me I would be very greatfull. Noel Soudant. 05/10/2000 @ 10:35 [ref: 170] |
