CONVAIR XF2Y SEA DART


Yeah I figured you had it. I almost disqualified you. A funny side story that illustrates the realities of naval aviation. I was drinknig beer watching TV with a roomate and the show on the sea dart came on and instead of saying how cool it was etc. WE both looked at each other and said "can you imagine the corrosion MAFs".

Our Maintenance Officers always drank a lot of beer --- that seemed to help with corrosion MAF's .... or we flew through thunderstorms while ship based -- "fresh" water wash-down.
