    Default F4U-1 Corsair

    One of my favorite old warplanes. As a young kid many, many years ago I saw a mock attack at Quantico with Corsairs "strafing" an enemy position. I've loved Corsairs ever since! This is a Planes of Fame aircraft performing at a fly-in in Valle, AZ. I was delighted to finally get some images of one of these beautiful planes.

    very nice, would have been tempted to go alittle slower with the SS to try and get more of a disc but everything else is nice

    we have F4U in the Uk but it is dark dark blue and a real pain to picture, sadly it was grounded last year but i believe she is up and about this year somewhere
