That is probably the most graceful looking plane ever built.

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.

Tangentially not really related question:  what are these tubes slung under the right wing?

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 Soccer War between El Salvador and Honduras, and IIRC the F4U is the one that flew home.



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.

Does this count as a bent wing?

t'was how it was meant to fly.

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