The F6F at the Palm Springs Air Museum is 93879. Joe Baugher as the following listing for this airframe...
94473 with Planes of Fame Air Museum,
Minnesota, painted as an F6F-3
flown by Ens. W. B. Webb of VF-2
which shot down 6 Vals during the
Marianas Turkey Shoot.
Now... My notes (which could be wrong) indicate that this airframe is marked as USN BuNo 58644 which is an F6F-5, and this conflicts with Joe's note above. Does anyone know if the BuNo 58644 is marked on 94473? If not is it know if the markings are presentative of the F6F flown by Ens. Webb of VF-2.
Regards,
Mike
