F4u Corsair

The F4U Corsair stands as one of the most effective aircraft of its time. Designed by Rex Buren Beisel, it fought in various roles in various wars. Here’s one with her wings folded.

Behind the Corsair stands a P40 Warhawk. Both aircraft are on my bucket list to fly someday. Not sure if that will ever happen, but when I have time (and money) I look for opportunities for just such adventure. By the way, take a look at this wing folding mechanism:

Sheer genius at work there. For you aviation enthusiasts, enjoy the airshow circuit which will be getting busy soon. Always do your checklist.
