F9F-5 from VF-192 ("Golden Dragons", tail code B).
Note the three wheel jeep.

A fake recon variant with a painted glass to figure a camera next to the code 21.
McDonnell F2H-3 Banshee[]
F2H-3 Banshee of VC-3 -tail code: NP- and of VF-193 -tail code: B-.
You can also see the F2H-2P in this general view of the USS Oriskany (CV-34), on the right (sorry, I've missed the good shot as the recon variant is slighty out of the right border).
The following overview has been reused in Capricorn One.
The 'missing' Banshee should be in blue, below next to the grey one visible here.
Sikorsky HO3S-1[]
Douglas AD-4 Skyraider[]
Grumman TBF Avenger[]
An unidentified Avenger could be seen on the right lane, first row. Maybe a ASW TBM-3W ?
