What was once a mighty 2,000 horsepower Pratt & Whitney radial engine powering a Navy F6F Hellcat, has found its way to our museum after spending decades laying in some jungle on an unknown Pacific island. A not-so glorious end.

Visitors who walk over to Hangar 79 to view some of the restoration work can see it and wonder. |
