She'll have a nice stable mate to help along on the restoration trail too!

Warbirdkid, I leave Connecticut for a few days and you gave away the corsair? Please tell me you didn't trade her to some Wiley Texan for a bag of beans...

OK Jack, time to spill the beans...
The crew at Ezell Aviation will be using this FG-1D to build jigs and get pickup points for our F3A-1 Brewster Corsair ground up restoraion. She's going to be a beauty when done. Keep your eyes open for some soon to be published magazine articles on more restorations and info! There's a LOT in the works these days.

I believe it is FG-1D 92460 and will be used for patterns as stated in previous message. For use some repair work will also be made on her and then it will be returned to CT.
