The McDonnell F2H Banshee was a single-seat, carrier-based jet fighter flown by the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps during the Korean War and throughout the 1950s. It was a versatile and capable aircraft, serving as both a fighter and a fighter-bomber. The VF-41 "Black Aces" are a U.S. Navy fighter squadron with a long and distinguished history, known for their distinctive black and yellow markings, which make their aircraft instantly recognizable. The Banshee helped to bridge the gap between WWII-era aircraft and the supersonic jets that would follow.
