Training Hop at MCAAF Newport Photograph

A PBJ-1H of VMB-613 departs the Marine Corps Auxiliary Air Field at Newport, Arkansas on a training hop.  The large aircraft numbers on the vertical stabilizer were only used while the squadron was stateside.  Once overseas, these numbers were painted over and smaller numbers, ranging from 1 to 15, were stenciled in their place.
