Summary[edit]

Description U.S. Navy Grumman F8F-2 Bearcats of Fighter Squadron 111 (VF-111) "Sundowners", assigned to Carrier Air Group 11 (CVAG-11), on the aircraft carrier USS Valley Forge (CV-45) in September 1949. This appears to be a demonstration, as there are a large number of civilians watching from the island walkways. The two F8F-2s are BuNos 121746 (left) and 121722 (right). Note the men standing by the wheel chocks, and the flight deck tractors standing by at left.
