This one???

Looks pretty airworthy to me. I'm not sure how recent the pics are but they look relatively new. Doug Fisher will know, come on in Doug!

I haven't heard anything new myself. The pilot who was flying indicated the problem was pretty serious, but didn't elaborate much more than that.

{edited by the author due to inappropriate comments. I apologize to the pilot and all the CAF Corsair crew for not thinking my comments through when posting them.}

Absolutely, if Matt has the time, then they need to put him to work. Besides, every mechanic should have a Corsair on his resume.

I hope she's back up flying soon, at minimal expense!

Thanks for the update Tracy. I saw it at "Willy" several weeks ago and wondered if it was back up yet. Best of luck to y"all

Tracey, I apologize if the information was in error. It was the information given to those gathered when he was at the hangar several weeks ago. I'm glad to hear that the delay is not due to further issues since then.
