Great pics!

Im pretty sure these are from the Columbus Ohio Curtiss works. It looks like the factory in the background and the runways look to be the old layout.

Back in the day when we used to make things that were the best. Now this location is where we process govt health care claims. :|

This looks to be an SB2C-4 with the prop spinner and cuffed blades, which can make the overall blade seem shorter, perhaps? I agree that these are great images - thanks Mark! Having stood on the horizontal (usually bare foot) washing/wiping down the vertical fin of the CAF SB2C-5, I'm sure the young lady was happy to get down from her perch, especially with those shoes. :)

While I'm not a big Helldiver buff, these photos are awesome. At a recent visit I marveled at the attention to detail on the NASM Helldiver at Dulles, which makes these pictures all that more special to me.

If an airplane (or artifact) can't be preserved, then the attention-to-detail over-the-top restoration is what flips my switch. Enola Gay, Sierra Sue, you name it.
