Its primary duty is reconnaissance. The F9 is carried by the US Navy airships USS Akron and USS Macon. The Akron was reported to have a complement of three F9s while the Macon was found at its underwater resting place with four in its hangar. Currently only one F9 Sparrowhawk still exists and it resides in the Smithsonian Institution s National Air and Space Museum.- SKU: TAM506
