Description

A U.S. Navy McDonnell F3H-2M Demon (BuNo 137078) at the U.S. Navy National Museum of Naval Aviation, Pensacola, Florida (USA).

Original description: "Accepted by the Navy on 24 May 1957, at the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation plant in St. Louis, Missouri, the museum's F3H-2M spent only a brief period of time in operational service flying with Fighter Squadrons (VF) 24, 64, and 121. With the former squadron, the aircraft was temporarily shore-based at Guam and operated from the deck of the carrier Lexington (CVA-16). Placed in storage at Litchfield Park, Arizona, in December 1959, it was stricken from the Navy aircraft inventory in 1962 with only 641 flight hours. Acquired by the museum from the Naval Air Systems Command in 1989, the aircraft was for many years displayed at Naval Air Station (NAS) Cecil Field, Florida, to which the museum placed the aircraft on loan. The F3H-2M Demon returned to NAS Pensacola in 1999 following the decision of the Base Realignment and Closure Commission to close NAS Cecil Field and following restoration and repainting it was placed in display in the markings of VF-193."(National Museum of Naval Aviation)
