That horse looks so embarrassed.WW I gave all countries the chance to test different types of camouflage, based on the specifics of the war theaters. This particular one has been used in West Africa, 1915:

Yumpin' Yimminy! Those guys ex-carrier pilots?Okay this one is a video and on both my computers it displays with the XY ratio butchered for some unknown reason but for those who fly regularly this is worth watching. It is a busy little place tho I suspect ops start and sunrise for a short time and again near dusk for a short time.
Treacherous area, but it beats walking
The Tenzing-Hilary airport was built by Hilary and is the starting point for Everest climbers. It is in Lokla in Nepal. It is perhaps the most dangerous airport in the world where there have been many accidents. The airport is subject to high winds and rain while it may be sunny in Kathmandu.
I suspect transporting them.Were the F7Fs operated off U.S.S. Wyndham Bay? Were the planes just being transported?
Agreed - USS Windham Bay (CVE92) was a Casablanca, with a flight deck of only 474 feetI suspect transporting them.
When editing at the Naval Institute Press, the question arose of F7F carrier operations. While it trialed on the Essex class Shangri La, it was deemed marginal as it was designed specifically for the much larger Midway class carriers. The ground support mission in Japan never developed, and virtually all Tigercat served in several Marine Corps squadrons after the war and later performed close air support, night fighter, reconnaissance and utility missions during the Korean War. Two night kills were recorded before being replaced by F3Ds. All focus went to jets.I suspect transporting them.
Probably would have been a better conversion job than the MiG-9....I wonder if Grumman ever experimented with a jet powered version of the F7F?
It's sleek likes and twin engine capability would suggest it would be a good candidate for such a conversion.
The prototype for the F9F looked very similar....I wonder if Grumman ever experimented with a jet powered version of the F7F?

Is it sure that these are E-5 and not E-3? E-5 didn't have the wing cannons and I'm sure the second a/c has them.
