[ARC5] Radio Equipment installed in Grumman F6F-3 at NMNA

[w4thq at cox.net]

Group,

While researching our records at NMNA I have found the following:

F6F-3 Bu No 25910 crashed in Lake Michigan Jan 5, 1945 while attempting to land on USS Sable.  Pilot survived.  Aircraft recovered Nov 21, 2009.  Being refurbished at National Museum of Naval Aviation, Pensacola, FL and then to be put on display.  Prior to service on USS Sable, this aircraft had served with VF-38 at Guadalcanal in 1943.

Notice the Bu No was previously reported in error, 25910 is correct. (Now I must correct 16 ID tags! on the radio equipment.)
