Roundup Campfire Regular R Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 2,091 Eastern Oregon	Originally Posted by sactoller The big one in the back Martin P5M. That's the later model with the T tail. Last flying boat in the Navy inventory, Worked on those blanks for two years at Sangley Point in the P.I. Had to have JATO bottles strapped on to take off from water. Had to have beaching gear attatched to tow up a ramp to park. Had two R-3350 piston engines. Used to spot ship movement and for anti-submarine duty. For the time was loaded with all kind of electronic gear. Thats a radar in the nose. Had MAD gear etc. Would be goofy for two days after a mission. Noise and vibration level high. Could carry bombs, mines, etc. in bays in the engine nacelles. Last edited by Roundup; 02/01/12. Happy Trails! NRA Life Member

There was also the Navy's VTOL Pogo and Sea Dart sitting in storage not to far from the school also. The F2Y Sea Dart built by Convair The VTOL XFV-1 Pogo also built by Convair de 73's Archie - W7ACT

Theirs is the second of four Sea Darts constructed and the oldest surviving example . Guns are like guitars - you can never have too many.
