AUGUSTINE, Fla. – After the nor’easter last week, part of a Navy plane dating back to World War II washed in South Ponte Vedra Beach. The plane has "landed" onsite ✈️ Our team believes this artifact is a WWII era Grumman F4F Wildcat. Another complication is the mixture of materials found such as aluminum and steel, said Andrew Thomson, the museum’s archaeological conservator. That’s something to which Bob Buehn, a retired Navy aviator and chairman of the lighthouse’s board of directors, can relate. Coincidentally, the museum just opened a World War II exhibit and it would like to see if the plane could stay permanently.
