Century Wings Vought F8E Crusader USN VF211 Fighting Checkmates Launch Config
This listing is for a new Century Wings Vought F-8E Crusader USN VF-211 Fighting checkmates, NP101, Commander Paul Speer, USS Bon Homme Richard, Vietnam May 19th, 1967 shot down a MiG-17. Item # CW 601628 Launch Configuration. This model was released in 2008 with only 3,000 pieces distributed world wide. Outer box has some scuff marks and small tears. Model in this listing belongs to my collection. Scale: 1/72 Length: 9.25″ Width: 5.75″ (wingspan) US Navy Fighter Squadron 211 (VF-211) Fighting Checkmates was the new designation given to Fighter Squadron 24 (VF-24) on March 9th, 1959. It traded its F-11F Tigers for F-8 Crusaders in July of that year. In 1961 VF-211 moved to NAS Miramar, which remained its home-base for the next 35 years. The Fighting Checkmates deployed to Vietnam seven times aboard the USS Hancock and once aboard the USS Bon Homme Richard. During this period, VF-211 pilots earned the title of “The MiG Killers, ” having downed eight enemy aircraft. The squadron transitioned to the F-14A Tomcat in 1975 and has been flying the F-18F Super Hornet since 2005. Vought F-8E Crusader Designed to meet a USN requirement for a supersonic air-superiority fighter, the Chance-Vought F-8 (originally F8U) was first flown on March 25th, 1955. The F-8 was the last American fighter to use guns as a primary weapon. Its powerplant was nearly identical to the one used by the F-100 Super Sabre, and it was the world’s first carrier-based aircraft to break the speed of sound. The US Navy used the Crusader in a traditional dogfighting interceptor role, while the Marines operated it as a strike/attack aircraft. Both flew the F-8 during the Vietnam War, and it remained in service for more than four decades. Century Wings 1:72 die-cast airplanes feature. Die-cast metal construction with some plastic components. Realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details. Pad printed markings and placards that won’t fade or peel like decals. Opening canopies, revealing detailed cockpit interiors. Selected moveable control surfaces. Interchangeable extended/retracted landing gear. Presentation stand to display the aircraft “in flight”. Detailed removable pilot and crew figures. Authentic detachable ordnance loads complete with placards. Accurately detailed underside with concealed screw heads. Many limited editions with numbered certificate of authenticity.

VA-22 USS CORAL SEA US Navy A-7C & E pilot skull cap VA22 Fighting Redcocks

VA-22 USS CORAL SEA US Navy A-7C & E pilot skull cap VA22 Fighting Redcocks
VA-22 USS CORAL SEA US Navy A-7C&E pilot skull cap VA22 Squadron Fighting Redcocks. I took the 2nd and 3rd pictures on the 1974-75 Coral Sea CVA-43 cruise. The 2nd picture is one of my favorites. The 3rd picture is a VA94 VA-94 A7 that got away from the plane handlers while they were moving it. It rolled over the side and got caught in the nets much to the relief of the plane captain (I assume) who was sitting in it. They brought in the crane and when they hosted it back up to the flight deck, one of the main gear tires blew. Sounded like a bomb going off. That was pretty exciting too (for a second or two). I was at NAS Lemoore with VA-22 when we deployed out of Alameda. Pictures are part of the description. Established as VF-63 on July 27, 1948. VF-63 redesignated VA-63 in March 1956.

US Navy WW2 KA-BAR MK. 2 FIGHTING KNIFE + PLASTIC SCABBARD Vtg USN Combat RARE
The US Navy in WW2 issued the rugged 7 blade Mk. 2 fighting knife to sailors, Seabees, and UDT men, and it quickly became known simply as the “KA-BAR”. This US Navy WW2 KA-BAR MK. 2 FIGHTING KNIFE is in good condition, with the blade having been re-parkerized at some point after the war, some light sharpening to the blade edge and the top false edge, some light nicking along the middle right blade spine, some scattered scratching and light finish abrading at each side of the blade, some upward bending to each end of the guard, some light patina to the guard and pommel, some light loosening to the middle handle washers, some scattered warping and separating to all of the handle washers, a scuff in the right edge of the pommel, some nicking to the bottom of the pommel, and with some overall age wear evident (ALL pictured). Otherwise, the knife is in fine shape, with no other damage. Most interestingly, it features a 7″ clip point bowie blade that retains approximately 85% of the re-parkerized finish, sports the classic stacked leather washer “tootsie roll” handle, and is stamped “USN / MK 2″ at the top of the guard, along with its maker, the famous “KA-BAR. It boasts a thin steel guard and a pinned steel pommel, and is complete with the original US Navy WW2 Mk. 2 Scabbard in good condition, with a small chip in the lower right front body, a small crack in the middle right side edge of the body, a bit of loose stitching at the lower right front belt hanger, some patina to the metal rivets of the belt hanger, some scattered scratching and brownish soiling to the body, and with some overall age wear evident (ALL pictured). Otherwise, the scabbard is in fine shape, with no other damage to the tough plastic construction, which retains approximately 85% of the original gray finish. Most interestingly, it’s stamped U. 2″ at the metal reinforced front throat, bears a fully functional darkened brass “glove” snap closure gray canvas handle retention strap, and is marked at the back throat with its maker, “B. Vp, the Victory Plastics division of the famous Beckwith Manufacturing Company. It carries a fully intact gray canvas belt hanger, and the set is a fine example of a rare, original US Navy WW2 KA-BAR MK. Track Page Views With. Auctiva’s FREE Counter.
