                        Sea,

                        Check the Navy site for lots of a/c photos. www.news.navy.mil

                        The S-3 wings fold overtop of each other and overlap. Its tail folds too.

                        The EA-6B Prowler wings fold up.

                        Mike

                        SBD Dauntless didnt have folding wings
                        F4F Wildcat, F6F Hellcat, TBM Avenger the wings folded back against the fueselage

                        Which other planes did you want to know about? Just modern, or WWII planes?

                        Model Aircraft Carrier aircraft -- Wing folding

                        I have recently started cutting the wings of some of the aircraft on my model aircraft-carriers to make them look more realistic. I am fortunate that the planes break of easily when I dust them. Does anybody know a good place to go to see pictures of how Naval Aircraft fold their wing up for storage. I know how A-7, F-4, F/A-18, F-8 and E-2 fold but other types I have pictures of that are not too helpful.
