Corsair 92050 took to the skies again for the first time in almost 50 years on Tuesday March 9th. First flight lasted approximately 30 minutes and no major issues encountered. A video of the first flight will be posted on the WHF website in the next couple of days. www.warbirdheritagefoundation.org

A stunning restoration and colour scheme, the midnight blue and red bands look simply awesome together.

I’m guessing this was a land based squadron - hence why no arrester hook?!

A tail hook might be added later if we are able to locate one along with the tail hook components.

They were well aware of the L-bird parked where it was so no run up planned between the hangars.
