Couldn't resist sharing this find from my morning reference recon sortie! Footage from CV34, USS Oriskany, which was used in the classic film "The Bridges at Toko, Ri." The actual bridge-busting mission was flown with Corsairs and Skyraiders. Some great details of F9F-5's are shown. Too bad we are still waiting for a decent 1/72 F9F-5 or -5P kit in 1/72 scale. Get out the popcorn and enjoy one of the most handsome golden jet age weenie cookers!
