In 1982, I was an Officer Candidate at Naval Aviation Officer Candidate School, at NAS Pensacola. Across the street from my barracks were the old seaplane hangars. Being an inquisitive sort, I found my way into one of the hangars one Saturday and found it filled with old aircraft intended for the Naval Aviation Museum; including the D.558 now on display at the Museum. I opened the canopy to find an empty compartment, the seat being removed. Nevertheless, I crawled in, closed the canopy, and for a minute... I was a kid again. Every time I see the D.558... I smile.
