The plane crashed near the middle of the lake, about 200 yards from the Hundley boat works, and sank in 30 feet of water. Owner of the boat works ordered two of his boats to stand by. The canopy opened as the plane hit the water, the pilot got out immediately and clambered around to the tail section, where he was rescued. Before the plane sank, the boat crew tied three lines around the tail assembly. Rubber buoys attached to the loose end of the lines thus marked the spot where the plane sank. Rough water and lack of instructions from an insurance company hampered salvage operations on the sunken plane the following day. It was recovered from Lake Dallas 8Mar52 and subsequently towed to Gainesville Municipal Airport. Bought by Uruguayan Naval Aviation / Aviación Naval Uruguaya.

Randolph AFB, San Antonio, TX, for the formal USAF evaluation in a fly-off with both the Beech and Temco competitors. US Navy Test Pilot School, NAS Patuxent River. Damaged in a landing accident. SOC 1953. The wing commander for the National Capital Wing of the Civil Air Patrol arranged to take ownership of the XNQ and in October 1953 the aircraft was repaired at NAS Patuxent River before being flown to a small airfield south of Alexandria, Virginia where it was stationed for the next two years. Ferried to Rockville, Maryland, 1955 but was stored outdoors which resulted in further deterioration. When that airfield was closed, the Fairchild was abandoned in-situ. John St. Clair, the operations officer of the Congressional Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol, trucked the aircraft to his home eight miles away to try and save it given its unique history. He later assumed formal ownership of the aircraft to keep it from going to the scrap yard. The Antique Airplane Association, asked St. Clair if he would donate the XNQ to a museum, which he agreed to and a crew from the association trucked what was left of the aircraft to Waco, Texas with plans of restoring it to flight status. The history of the XNQ took a new turn after its arrival in Waco when General aviation pilot Don Pellegreno and his wife were weathered in at Waco and found the XNQ in storage in a hangar. He approached Taylor about purchasing it. In 1982, while negotiations proceeded, the aircraft was moved to Oklahoma City but restoration work had not started. At a fly-in in Iowa, Taylor approached Pellegreno and asked him to make an offer and with that, Pellegreno become the XNQ’s new owner. In September 1982 Pellegreno trucked the aircraft to his farm in Story City, Iowa and began restoration work. Registered to Pellegreno 15Apr83 as N5726. On 1 June 1992 the XNQ made its second maiden flight (the first time the aircraft had flown since 1955). Pellegreno has since moved to Fairview Airport, Rhome, Texas.

Shortly after takeoff from Kalispell Airport while on a firefighting mission, the co-pilot informed ground that the engine number three caught fire in the accessory section and elected to return for a forced landing. Fire spread quickly to the right wing and the crew realized they could not make it so the captain attempted an emergency landing in an open field located near the airport. The airplane crash landed and came to rest in flames. While both crew members were uninjured, the aircraft was destroyed.

In July 1945 it was transferred to the Navy and converted with a search radar for search and rescue as PB-1W 77231. In February 1947 it was assigned to Air Test And Evaluation Squadron 4 (VX-4) at NAS Quonset Point, RI, and was used to evaluate and develop Airborne Early Warning equipment and procedures. In February 1950 the unit moved to NAS Norfolk, VA, and it moved again that May to NAS Litchfield Park, AZ. In April 1952 the plane was assigned to Fleet Composite Squadron 11 (VC-11) at NAS Miramar, CA. That June the unit was transferred to NAS Barbers Point, HI, and the name of the unit changed to Airborne Early Warning Squadron 1 (VW-1). Two years later it was transferred back to NAS San Diego for retirement, and in June 1954 was placed in storage at Litchfield. Two years later it was stuck off strength. In December 1957 the plane was purchased by American Compressed Steel Corporation of Dallas, TX and registered as N6464D; they put it in open storage at Dallas Love Airport. Marson Equipment Salvage Company of Tucson, AZ, bought the plane in February 1960 and then sold it to Aero Union Corporation of Anderson, CA in September 1961. Aero Union sold the plane on 1/3/62 to Rogue Flying Services of Medford, OR, who converted it as a fire-fighting tanker and operated it that way until April 1963 when they sold it to Aero Ag Incorporated at Medford, who continued to operate it as a fire-fighter until early 1971. That was when Idaho Aircraft Corporation of Boise acquired it and registered it as N5233V; they continued operating it as a fire-fighter until they sold it back to Aero Union in June 1971. No information is available for four years, but during that time the plane was acquired by the Air Force Museum Loan program and in June 1975 it was placed on display with the USAF Armament Museum at Eglin, FL. Beginning in 2011 it was repainted to olive drab as 44-83863, its original serial. Civil registry was cancelled Dec 11, 2012. 77232 (MSN 32505) Delivered to the USAAF as 44-83864. US Navy 11Jul45.

During the summer of 1951, the Navy received a new aircraft carrier ceded by the United States, the La Fayette (ex USS Langley). To prepare for its participation in the Indochina operations, Flottille 12 F was equipped with new Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat aircraft. A few days before a major combined exercise in the Mediterranean, the Commandant of Flottille 12 F participated in a rocket firing exercise above Cannet-des–Maures, northeast of Toulon 5Feb52. After the firing, the plane pitched in a nose-down attitude, turned slowly onto its back and struck the ground 600 metres from the winery Domaine ROUX, northwest of Cannet-des-Maures (1KIS). 79111 (VF-26) attached to USS Santee (CVE-29) lost off San Pedro in Philippines Aug 15, 1945 (BuNos!) 79133 French Navy / Aéronavale as 79133.

A patrol of three Hellcats from Escadrille 54 S took off from the Hyères base to carry out an aerial combat exercise in visual flight over the peninsula of Giens 29Oct51. At the end of the exercise, the patrol began to turn to the right where the clouds were dense. Witnesses saw two planes strike the ground at a place called "La mort de Gautier" in the town of Soliès-Toucas, Var. It is likely that BuAer 79133 and 79805 collided during the fairly tight right turn in the clouds. Transported to hospital in Toulon, the two pilots died there during the day.

Escadrille 54 S [code 54 S-49], Base Aéronavale Hyères, Toulon, France. A patrol of three Hellcats from Escadrille 54 S took off from the Hyères base to carry out an aerial combat exercise in visual flight over the peninsula of Giens 29Oct51. At the end of the exercise, the patrol began to turn to the right where the clouds were dense. Witnesses saw two planes strike the ground at a place called "La mort de Gautier" in the town of Soliès-Toucas, Var. It is likely that BuAer 79805 and 79133 collided during the fairly tight right turn in the clouds. Transported to hospital in Toulon, the two pilots died there during the day 79812 French Navy / Aéronavale as 79812. Flottille 1 F [code 1 F-3], La Fayette (R96).

At the end of 1953, it was on the borders of Tonkin and Laos that the main operations of the Indochina war took place. The missions of the two flotillas of the aircraft carrier Arromanches consisted of bombardment and support operations for the troops in North Vietnam. In November, the first ground elements were parachuted into Dien Bien Phu and on 5Dec53 two Hellcats from Flotilla 11 F were catapulted to carry out an assault mission to Phu-To in Thaï-Nguyen in order to locate and destroy the enemy's supply lines. Arriving in the vicinity of Cho-Chu, the flight not having discovered an objective to attack, continued its mission towards the south, until the crossroads of the RP 38 and the RP 125. At the moment when the two planes, flying at about 200 feet, arrived at this crossroads, they were attacked at close range by a battery of anti-aircraft fire. Both aircraft were hit and this airplane caught fire. The pilot proceeded east-southeast at 800 feet and maneuvered to land alongside a small stream. As it was about to make contact with the ground, the airplane exploded and vanished in a ball of fire. The other pilot flew over the scene but saw only a large fire (1KIA). 80097 NAS Jacksonville, FL.
