Some of this stuff really is interesting as to who's got what, once you begin digging.
For instance, this site says that the only remaining F3F is located in Pensacola:

While this one claims to have a F3F in Galveston:

Funny, how folks will state something so unequivocally, huh?

Yeah, there are alot of those "this is the only one left" and the "no more exist" things out there. The F3F is indeed a rare bird, but there are several of them and the one in Galveston Texas does really exist, I've seen it and I even have some pictures of it somewhere. Its a nice looking plane and given the musuem its at, I'd bet its even airworthy.

Moritz- that SBD-2 that you mention is now fully restored and on display. My son and I saw it last year on a trip to the area. We actually touched a combat vereran of the Battle of Midway! Absolutley awe inspiring! Hope the museum is O.K., and that the area as a whole will recover soon...

Ok guys good news!(I guess)
Pensacola NAS received extensive damage but the museum is scheduled to re-open in a couple weeks I heard on the local news
Ive seen pictures of the museum and it didnt appear to have any internal damage(I may be wrong)just a few exterior issues.
