1. Title: Douglas YEA-3A Skywarrior 130361: A Retired Naval Aviation Icon at the Pima Air and Space Museum 2.. The Douglas YEA-3A Skywarrior 130361, a legendary naval aviation aircraft, now proudly takes its place among the historic collection at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona. This iconic plane, which served the United States Navy for several decades, was transferred to the Museum on loan from the National Naval Aviation Museum. Circa 1980, Douglas YEA-3A Skywarrior 130361 was retired from active service and sent to the Military Aircraft Storage and Disposition Center (MASDC) for disposal. However, its rich history and significant contributions to naval aviation ensured that it would not be forgotten. Originally designed as a carrier-based fleet bomber and later adapted for various roles, including electronic warfare, the Douglas YEA-3A Skywarrior, also known as the "Skyshark," was a versatile and durable aircraft. Its distinctive design, featuring a variable-incidence wing and a powerful turboprop engine, made it a formidable presence in the skies. The Skywarrior's impressive service record includes participation in numerous military conflicts, including the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Its ability to carry a large payload and fly long distances made it an invaluable asset to the U.S. Navy. Now, as a cherished exhibit at the Pima Air and Space Museum, Douglas YEA-3A Skywarrior 130361 continues to inspire and educate visitors about the history of aviation and the vital role that naval aircraft play in protecting our nation. This iconic plane serves as a reminder of the courage and innovation of the men and women who have dedicated their lives to the field of aeronautical transportation and transport.
