We will begin offering podcasts on various aircraft and tours at Patriots Point. This should prove especially valuable to visiting guests as they will be able to download these podcasts for use in touring Patriots Point. You can subscribe to our future podcasts by clicking on the subscribe link on the right side of the page under Patriots Point Podcast Channel.

Our first today is on the F-4F-3A Grumman Wildcat naval fighter aircraft. The Wildcat was the primary fighter for the U. S. Navy when war broke out in the Pacific in 1941. It would remain our frontline fighter until the introduction of the F-6F Grumman Hellcat fighter in the summer of 1943. Click on the red button below.
