| Love the airplane. Cool little bird. Heard it is like flying a sportscar. Except, the landing gear. Looks like it would making any landing that wasn't carrier based (with a roll out) a bit tricky. |

| FM2's. Chicago's O'Hare Airport has an F4F-3 on display in one of the terminals. It was found in Lake Michigan some years ago and restored to static display condition. IIRC, the -3 variant didn't have folding wings. That came along with the -4? Little hazy there. |

| Beautiful airplane, one of my favorites. The folding wings came with the -4, along with two other guns. Are there any F4F-4s flying? |

| You know, I could swear I have seen a photo of an F4F-4 somewhere in a museum. I don't recall where and whether or not it was flying.
