Corsair info requested

Thu Jan 03, 2008 4:26 pm

I was wondering if anybody knows who owned the Corsair that was painted as Boyington's "86" back in 1975?

It attended the Pratt & Whitney 50th Anniversary air display in September of 1975, but I don't have an N-number for it.

I've always been interested in who owned it at that time, and where it is now.
Thanks.

If I were a betting man, my money would be on this one:

Yep....probly.....I was thinking CAF's 9964Z but it was painted up as his old #883, not #86, sometime back before its major overhaul with Vought in the late 70's...

I think you guys are right. It looks like it may be the Kalamazoo bird. I've gotta pull out my old pics to make sure.
Thanks.
