Eunometic

Anyone have any experience with the F7U "Gutless Cutlass" by
MuseumTech
I was wondering if there were any retired Naval Aviators who have
flight hours logged with the dreaded F7U Cutlass. I work at the

still in port in Yokosuka given the crisis in Japan. Given that they

there, why didn't they put the latter out to sea to help out or at
least get it away from...
