They were used in Korea. Also saw service as fire bombers her in the US. It's not really apparent in the photos, but the fuselage is so narrow it is almost odd to view them head on. Less than 36" is my guess.


Here's some pics where you can see how narrow the fuselage is on the F7.

Wow! That really is a narrow fuse.
Nice looking bird, btw.
