Title: Can you ID this aircraft?
Post by: Ric Gillespie on April 22, 2013, 06:01:24 PM

This airplane is at the Museo de la Revolucion in Havana.  Can anyone identify it?  I thought it might be a Brewster Buccaneer but the tail is wrong.

That is a Vought OS2U-3. See article here.  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vought_OS2U_Kingfisher) Scroll down to Aircraft on Display, Cuba.
