    F7F-3 with APS-6 radar?

    This is a photo of an F7F-3 nose. Looking at it there is no radar in the nose. This is original from the 1950’s. There is probably room to put a radar in the nose, but there is no evidence of a radar ever being installed in the nose.

    When was JP-5 first fielded?

Sometime around 1987 we began shifting to JP-4, because the Navy would not transport JP-4 for us any longer. During the switch over, planes that did not leak, began to leak...
