Re: Ki-84 Hayate c/n 1446
Nick,
The F6F is most likely BuNo 72916 which, in the time frame you mention, May-June 1945, was assigned to a replacement aircraft pool on Samar. The nose number was likely applied at Bethpage, where the aircraft was accepted on 9 December 1944.
It ended its days in 1955 as an F6F-5K target drone.
