Hello!

I am looking for pictures of the above mentioned Corsair - Bureau #124493. I would like to feature it in my next tattoo but am having a hard time finding any pictures of it.

If anyone has any would you be willing to post them here or contact me for an e-mail address to send them to?

Thank you!

Oh, and Happy St. Patty's Day! :drink3:

S:

We have few pics of Buno 124493 but we have to dig for them. Std-by.

p.s How did you happen to run into this particular Buno??

We found out with a couple of F4U Wixers sometime ago that the real Buno for 124493 (X FAH 608) it is actually flying in the US & is not in restoration in Australia as previously thought. The link below is Buno 124493 fresh out of restoration at Ft. Lauderdale, Fla c.1987- 1988. Photo Glenn Wegman.

Zorro -

Thank you for taking the time to look for some photographs, I really appreciate it.

Came across this one through a friend who had a connection to it. It's a special bird to me. :)

Don't forget to post pics of the tattoo when you get it. Ryan will want some too.

Scott, I'll certainly post some pictures! ;)

This won't be my first tattoo. I have several others including a big back piece and a half sleeve. Would like to incorporate the Corsair I mentioned, the B-17 and either the P-38 or the P-40. I can't decide between the two. Maybe both. ;)
