"I was hoping I had found a Hellcat that had
slipped through the cracks...."

I've asked about it here before, but the one Hellcat that to me has slipped through the cracks is the F6F-5N Bu79669 that was displayed in a base green at Moffett Field in California. I used to play on and around it about every week in about 1964-65 when my Mom would shop at the base commisary. Sadly as a 9-yr. old kid I never took a photo of it.
Does anyone know a sure fate for this one? Any photos?
