Now there's my JU-87!
Corsairs rule and the Stuka will make any Red Army tanker commie cry for his mommy. |

There's a Corsair being restored about 3 miles from here. I can't wait to see/ hear it fly.

Nice that plane was one of the first models I built well as a kid and I have always loved it since....

Great pics. I love corsairs and F4's.
I was at El Toro MCAS in about 1980. One day I was sitting on the back of an F4 working away and heard a strange noise. I had my ears on so everything is muffled, but you sort of learn normal noises from the abnormal, and this noise was just weird. Just then a F4U pulled up right beside the aircraft I was sitting on. Too cool! And to top it off it was done up in the squadron's WWII markings. VMFA-323, the Deathrattlers. They were having an airshow that weekend and let the guy park on our ramp. One of those awesome days that stick in your memory. |

That's what came to mind when I saw the thread title. |

Quoted: I can't remember what S. American war it was, but F4U's and P-51's did duke it out in the sky. The Corsair is my favorite airplane of all time. |

Tri-State Warbirds Museum Clermont County Airport (I69) ETA: The restored planes here are flown regularly. I highly recommend a visit. The works in progress are much farther along the the pictures indicate. The Corsair is pictured as it was recovered from a static display at a restaurant in Florida I believe. As I recall, it was used in Baa Baa Black Sheep, but only on the ground. The engine was seized. I just watched an engine run video of the P-40 on youtube, so hopefully that will be over my house soon. |

Corsairs were pure win, I can only imagine how intimidating it was to have to fly against them.
