Red Dot Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 It is wonderful to see these Sven. It is amazing how quickly they have been forgotten. I wonder what happened to the one with the yellow tail? That would make a great model Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Keith, You wouldn't happen to have any photos of VS-33 Vikings? The World famous and Internationally Traveled Screwbirds have always been my favorite ASW/Patrol squadron- sadly, they were disestablished several years ago. There is a large four foot tall mahogany Screwbird at the Cubi Point restaurant at the Museum of Naval Aviation at Pensacola, along with some of their cruise plaques. See the link for some VS-33 Screwbird Viking photos. Thanks, as always for sharing your incredible collection with the rest of us.

Some of the S-3s above are from VS-33 - they have the Screwbird emblem aft of the cockpit but these are before they started using the larger Screwbird image on the tail. Also have this one from an NAS Miramar airshow, July 1989. Cheers, Sven 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
