Notes:

This forgotten bird has a fascinating history of service at squadrons VX-5, VX-4, and VFA-125 before flying as No.3 in the Blue Angles. After retirement, she served as a full-size wind tunnel model at NASA Ames, and now the kind folks at Moffett Heritage Museum preserved her. Timeless classic!
