EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Douglas F3D-2 SkyKnight 124629, a former United States Marine Corps training aircraft, currently on display at the Pima County Air Museum. Known by its base code "LP" and call sign "13," this SkyKnight was re-designated TF-10B in the late 1950s. The Douglas F3D-2 SkyKnight was a twin-engine, all-weather, carrier-capable jet aircraft, primarily used for advanced jet training and fleet defense. Manufactured by the Douglas Aircraft Company, the SkyKnight first flew in 1948 and entered service with the US Navy in 1951. With its distinctive twin-boom configuration and large tailfin, the SkyKnight was a formidable presence in the skies. This particular aircraft, 124629, served with the United States Marine Corps until the late 1960s before being retired and eventually making its way to the Pima County Air Museum. The SkyKnight was an essential part of the US military's aviation history, with its advanced features such as all-weather capabilities, radar systems, and the ability to carry various types of weapons. Today, it serves as a reminder of the technological advancements and innovation that shaped the aviation industry during the mid-20th century. The photograph, taken circa 1970, captures the SkyKnight in its post-military life, standing proudly on the museum's grounds, a testament to its storied history and the important role it played in the development of military aviation.
