Ozfuryfan/F4U-5N Folks:
Good day!
Found deep into the NARA archives your Navy F4U-5N Buno 123168 still wearing its original scheme. Poss USS Oriskany , Korean waters, c. ’52.
p.s ..your aircraft is fm: L to R, in the F4U row, it’s the one in the middle as indicated by the blue arrow. We are working in a better close-up & poss catch the Buno at the tail!Photo NARA

Is this actually FAH 603 restored or is it a different FG airframe with a Honduran paint job?
The FG-1s were Goodyear-built F4U-1s.
The aircraft in question is a F4U-5, built by Vought.

Good day!
The pics posted above by Pete & spotters are of the original XFAH 603 Buno 123168. There were no FG-1D samples with FAH. Additionally, the Buno posted fm WIX needs to be updated.
p.s Some confusion may arise fm the Latin F4U schemes since all 3 users, Argentina, Honduras & El Salvador used the dark blue fuselage & the Blue-White-Blue colors at the rudder with some variations.

Good day!
Your fine flying machine c. 1954-55 wore this scheme with VMF(N)114 on the E. coast. Poss Cherry Point MCAS. We’re digging for more pics of that particular unit. Photo via NARA.

Very nice indeed – and a lovely restoration.
Looks like she has some poke with that big Double Wasp up front. What are the markings, not seen that type before?
