That is a great looking Corsair. Well done to the CF for maintaining that bird.

Does the radar in the pod on the wing work? Would be cool to do some night fighter reenactments.
I spoke with the Mustang driver last weekend when Collins brought the B-17, B-24 and Mustang here to Trenton. Told him that I was interested in being a warbird pilot. He said for me to keep pushing, build up tail wheel time, and fly anything that I can get my hands on, and then wished me good luck for my CFI ride on the 2nd. Here are some photos of the -17 and -24s departure.

I mean cool if it was.., but hey.

Indeed, nice pics. Does she fly funny with the one droptank offset like that? I know that to some extent the radar pod would balance it, but as fuel load changes??? Trim? Very pretty bird!

And how would one go about getting a print or two of these photos for one's wall, next to my other Corsair bits?
