I lived in Columbus when they were making the A-5s and regularly tracked their sonic booms as they did flights over Columbus. The plane there is the recon version of the A-5, which was the first plane over the target and the last plane over the target on missions in Viet Nam. The North American magazine had comments about the ability of the cameras at 60,000 feet being able to see a golf ball. On NAA Family Day in 1957 I saw the final test drop of one of the production birds before delivery. They regularly landed over our house landing at Port Columbus. Awesome!

One of my favorite places go, I have spent many hours / days in the museum, love it, and the haunted lighthouse across the street.

My closest friend was a retired Master Chief, ATC. We spent many great days walking around the back 40. Over at the Sailplane airport on Beulah Church Road, the old fellow running the club was my CO when I went through Pensacola. He took my wife up for her birthday. Back on the back 40 another day, an OV-10 was being prepped to display as a BlackPony. We strapped my wife in the front seat so she could see what I did for a living. The Naval Aviation Museum is a magic place. If you haven’t been go soon and take the family.

Hey, thanks for sharing! Those sound like some incredible experiences. The Naval Aviation Museum truly is a gem - a must-visit for sure!

I watched a few R A5C take-off and land from a few of the conventionals in 64-65 while part of the screen in the Tonkin. At the time, they were the hottest aircraft in the fleet. This was before the F4s, and the Navy was still flying F8 Crusaders along with A1, A3, and A4s. All the "old" stuff! At night, while in the plane guard position on takeoff, all you could see was what appeared to be a set of owl eyes rising vertically until they just disappeared. Awesome sight! I also had a chance to walk around the Luke AFB static display and their "T6 Texan" had a tail hook on it which tells me it was a Navy SNJ.

My father was in VW-4 in the early 60's. I'd have to go back through his flight logs to see if he flew on Brenda.

Not finding that tail code in his logs. Would have been neat if it was.

How early do you have to show up at the gate to get to the practice? 06:00 ? There has always been a line too long to get in

Wish you would have talked about the Consolidated Privateer

@e3aviationassociation 2 ай бұрын

The Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer is definitely a fascinating aircraft! Originally designed as a long-range patrol bomber, it’s a unique variant of the B-24 Liberator, tailored for maritime patrol with a single vertical stabilizer and extended range. Thanks for bringing it up-I'll have to give the Privateer its due spotlight in a future video. Appreciate the suggestion!

My fellow old farts have approached the museum several times asking to repaint the RF-4B. About five years ago the guys descended on MCAS Miramar and painted our RF on display there. Seems a shame, would not cost the museum a dime to have a nicely restored plane. We ain't getting any younger. Phantoms Phorever.

The 7 jet always looks the best IMO. Something about the lines of the two seat canopy just looks better. I grew up watching the Blues fly over Annapolis each year, starting the first season of the F/A-18s. Those shows convinced a 10 year old to chase his dream of going to the USAF Academy and serving a 21 year career. That is the value proposition of the Blues!

That ramp is half as full as it used to be the idea tbey don't have space for the A-3 whale is BS there are plenty of museums who could have displayed it.

@xyzaero 2 ай бұрын

question is, if these museums had the significant funds needed to haul an A-3 a their facility and to restore it over there? All that cost for a plane 99% of visitors have ZERO interest in?
