Sorry Peter, not the F-8 either.
May I suggest that you ask more generic questions.
Reviewing the past and present Navy inventory might be a bit boring for the readers

Take it easy. I was just making a mere suggestion and trying to be helpful. The smiley was supposed to ease the edges of my comment
Now if your post was ironical (which I doubt), please ignore the above.
Next question, please.

T-2 Buckeye : No
Uh-oh, maybe this is too esoteric
Whatever happens, the answer will be posted tonight. Let me highlight the important stuff in the initial clue.
I was the climax and the (almost) last branch of a very old family : my ancestors started flying in 1910 !
And the last one :
think BIG

BEags, sorry, only 3 were built.
The man is after the Convair R3Y Tradewind, which could refuel 4 a/c at a time..

There were 2 XP6M-1 prototypes, both crashed. There were 6 pre-production YP6M-1s, 4 of which served together with 3 production P6M-2s on a single US Navy squadron.
Glenn L Martin Aircraft started up in 1912; Consolidated not until 11 years later and Vultee, who joined with them to form Convair in 1943, didn't start life until 1932.

BEagle,
You got it all right (as usual)
I was indeed the Martin P6M Seamaster
The familiy I was thinking of was seaplanes.
The first flight of a seaplane took place on March 28th, 1910, by Henri Fabre (see here - scroll to middle of the page)
Was it too esoteric ?
Over to you.

No - just the right combination of esoteric and tantalising facts! I was away counting car parks (euphemism for visiting Tchermany) and only got back on line properly today, so didn't spot the SeaMaster until today. What an amazing jet it was!
OK - easy one. I'm Moby Deck!

Are you a jet? (How come you got away with a one word answer? )
