I don't allow myself to waste thoughts or a tiny bit of emotion on such nonsense as jealousy, but I can permit myself to be envious of Jack's wonderful photo collection.
Thank you so much for sharing!!

I was working and didn't get a chance to view these until now.
Great shots Jack, as always.
One of my favorite subjects for some reason!

Agreed...I've run out of seemingly trite superlatives and find it better to just drool in silence.....

Thanks for your great post! Corsairs are one of my all-time favorites. It's rare to see good resolution action shots from WWII.

It's hard for me to imagine a world in which a damaged Corsair wouldn't elicit more than an, "oh well".
