I knew somebody would ask, and no I do not. I was there for the racing, and just took a couple of brief walks farther down the ramp shooting mostly the many jets that were at Mojave in 1979. I was just a beginner then, and had no sense of the importance of being comprehensive. I just shot what caught my eye. Sorry...

Here is the other F4U-4.
http://www.warbirdregistry.org/corsairr ... 97349.html

The K model in the background is N2294B 64-17640, the first of the 40 On-Mark B-26K Counter Invaders.

And one of three K models owned by Wally McDonnell. Neal would have seen the second one, N22939 64-17676 fly the course during the races as #4 "Mojave Kid".

The third, N99218 64-17657 was reduced to rubble in a landing at Chino the previous year.
