| Santiago L. Aversa , OTH | The F-9F was the first jet in Argentine Naval Service. ALthough the Colossus class carrier (ARA [V-1] Independencia) could nopt carry it (due to her HYD CAT), the grummans rendered valiable service from shore bases. You can find more info on preserved examples of the type (including pictures) at http://www.fuerzasnavales.com 01/10/2001 @ 11:29 |
