Characteristics

1. FG-1D, Unit: Escuadrilla 2, Escuadrón Caza Bombardeo, Fuerza Aérea Salvadoreña, Serial: FAS-205, circa 1965. The second batch of FG-1D's supplied to El Salvador wore a camouflage in dark blue. It remains unclear if this was the same "mid-nite" as used on FAH Corsairs, or some other shade. The example depicted here, serialled '205', also had the FAS insignia applied behind the engine cowling. Despite intensive efforts on the part of FAS technicians, the FG-1D '205' did not become operational during the 1969 War.
2. Goodyear FG-1D, Unit: Escuadrilla 2, Escuadrón Caza Bombardeo, Fuerza Aérea Salvadoreña, Serial: FAS-220, El Salvador, mid-1960s.
3. FG-1D, Unit: Escuadrilla 2, Escuadrón Caza Bombardeo, Fuerza Aérea Salvadoreña, Serial: FAS-201 (BuNo 67087), circa 1965. Earlier in the 1960s, the FAS FG-1 Corsairs were painted in Gull Gray overall and had the large service title applied on the sides of the rear fuselage, as well as national colours on the rudder and wingtips. This aircraft was not operational in 1969.
4. Goodyear FG-1D, Unit: Escuadrilla 2, Escuadrón Caza Bombardeo, Fuerza Aérea Salvadoreña, Serial: FAS-220.
5. Goodyear FG-1D, Unit: Escuadrón de Caza, Fuerza Aérea Salvadoreña, Serial: FAS-215 (BuNo 92629), circa 1968.
6. FG-1D, Unit: Escuadrilla 2, Escuadrón Caza Bombardeo, Fuerza Aérea Salvadoreña, Serial: FAS-207 (BuNo 92460), Ilopango AB, 1969. The markings were crudely painted over American insignia.
7. Goodyear FG-1D, Unit: Escuadrilla 2, Escuadrón Caza Bombardeo, Fuerza Aérea Salvadoreña, Serial: FAS-219. This FAS FG-1 example received even heavier camouflage. The aircraft was most likely originally painted Gull Gray overall: this colour remained only on the undersides, while the upper sides had a heavy disruptive pattern in Light and Forest Green. Note the yellow identification stripes were retained. FAS-219 was shot down by Honduran AAA on 17 July 1969.
8. Goodyear FG-1D, Unit: Escuadrón de Caza, Fuerza Aérea Salvadoreña, Serial: FAS-215 (BuNo 92629), Ilopango IAP, 1966.
