2 Corsairs over Akron today

Sun Jul 24, 2011 3:10 pm

At 1500 today flying heading about 100 degrees.

Any ideas who and where they were headed?

They were obviously probably on their way out of Ypsilanti from Thunder Over Michigan....

Probably Skyboss and Marine's Dream since they'd be heading back to the same area.

Sounds about right..I'm not sure either one landed after flying in the show.

Hi Guys,

You are correct. They were SkyBoss flown by Dan Dameo and

Marines Dream flown by Tom Duffy.

They departed the show and headed east for home Sunday afternoon.

T.O.M. was awesome!

Sorry, "SkyBoss" was heading to Long Island and "Marines Dream" was heading to its home at Milleville NJ.
I was fortunate to have been flying Jerry Yegan's FG1D "31" with the VF-17 paint of the "Jolly Rogers."
