Was that a Vought or Goodyear bird?

Look more like CT than OH.
Must have had good visibility in flight. On the ground it must have been awful.

From the front seat it probably felt a lot like the XF4U prototype.

Id like to see a Goodyear bird today modified with a Birdcage Canopy and made into a dual control. (Kinda like the Corsair version of the CF's P-51)

You might see such a thing someday...only it won't be a birdcadge and will be a Vought bird.

There's a guy in Maryland, I think, that has a Dash 7 that he's attempting to make into a dual control version.
Don't know all the specifics, but it isn't as easy as it sounds.

I'm sure it's a VERY daunting project to say the least! I don't envy the engineer tasked to do that! Cool project, though! Has work started on it yet?

It is the old "Alberta Blue" F4U-7 which is now in Virginia. See here:

As I heard it, the plan was to install dual controls and a second canopy. I'm not sure what happened since, or even the current status of the aircraft. Anyone know more?
