Pre-WW2 Navy aircraft

[Orrin]

This was taken at an airshow at the Grumman airport, in the late 1960's. This particular aircraft was destroyed in a fire a few years later.

What a shame that such a beautiful, old, historical aircraft was destroyed. Thanks for sharing it with us.

What type of Grumman is that Orrin?

It's on the tail. It's an F3F-2

Fortunately, it was not the last one! I saw this one at the 2014 Reno Air Races and show.
