Because I can still see "Navy" under the wing, possibly this one?

YES,
This was taken at El Toro during painting back in 1990/91 I think...I was a sander onthe poor thing. A complete aircraft under the skin. And when we needed tires an F-18 squadron sent in a request for tires to the Navy wharehouse and lo and behold two new in wrapping F4U-5 tires showed up in about 3 weeks. My request for 20MM cannons and accesories was refused.
