Wow that's beautiful, thanks! There is one of these and a Hellcat plus a number of other planes on the USS Intrepid museum on the west side of Manhattan in NYC. We have a couple of nice museums on Long Island, the Cradle of Aviation, The American Airpower Museum (actually the last remaining building that was part of Republic Aviation on the grounds of Republic Airport) and Grumman Memorial Park. Aerospace was really big on Long Island from approx 1929 to 1994 when Grumman was bought by Northrup. I know that Republic built approx 9,500 Thunderbolts during WW-2 and over 800 Thunderchiefs during the cold war. And of course, Grumman many thousands of planes during WW-2, the cold war and built the LEM, its first spacecraft right in Bethpage. First pic is a TBF being built in Bethpage LI, second pic is flight testing at Republic in East Farmingdale LI, it was mostly rural then so not too many people would object to the low passes! Third pic is the huge Republic Aviation factory in East Farmindale, at the corner of Conklin St (Rte 24) and Broadhollow Rd (Rte 110). All gone now sadly. One of the buildings at the far left adjacent to the road is now the American Airpower Museum.
