Gents- Wasn't the Corsair around for quite awhile after WW2 ? Seems like I remember it had the distinction of being the1st piston plane to shoot down a jet over Korea in 1950 or so. I believe they still have a big "Warbirds" show in Hickory, North Carolina in May...most of the planes will make your mouth water, & bring tears to your eyes. As well as I remember, all the period electronics were installed & looked functional. Might be something to check out.-Sandy G.

>Not sure what an F4U is, but we had an airshow here this weekend featuring the Blue Angels. They did some pre-show stuff for the press and I work very near the airport. I think it was my first time to see them. Watching those guys doing formations over the area was awesome.
