Last week, Answer Man wrote about Kennedy Playground, the remarkable park that was dedicated on June 3, 1964, at Seventh and O streets NW. In addition to swings and merry-go-rounds, kids could crawl over a real locomotive, real streetcar, real tank, real tugboat and real jet airplanes. Answer Man’s readers remembered that three regional parks in Maryland also had airplanes. Cabin John and Watkins regional parks had North American FJ Furies, the Navy’s version of the Air Force’s famed F-86 Sabre. Wheaton Regional Park had a Vought F7U Cutlass, and it’s that plane that’s particularly interesting to warbird enthusiasts.
