Some WIP shots of some USMC R5D-3's soon to come. One is an R5D assigned to MARS-17 MCAS Iwakuni circa 1962 and the other is an R5D assigned to Station Operations and Engineering Squadron (SOES) MCAS Cherry Point. The one assigned to SOES was modified with extra astodomes to train USMC Navigators. Until recently the USMC had a long history of using enlisted Marines as aircraft navigators.
