I'm offended by that first one...the girl's aren't nearly big enough! 8)

What's up with the panel aft of the exhaust on the FM-2..it looks corrugated. I saw the same thing on one at the museum in Pensacola..I had assumed it was some post-war mod.

Great pics as always, Jack... but that Corsair must take the cake, that's a pretty ridiculous nickname on that bird!
