No fair Dude! That's it! Imma Hnagin' out with you from now on!

So the story on how yuh got to fly'er...do tell...

Lol, I didn't. The 'myself' is just the title, I was just the guy taking the picture.

Corsair yes?

Or no wait, Corsair has the huge bend in the wing because originally the landing gear didnt keep the plane elevated enough and its HYOOOGE Prop would scrape XD

___cat? (BearcatHellcatetc)

I loved that the wings folded. I read somewhere that they stored a whole secret fleet inside of a High School Gym XD and they did it by folding them wings!

Neeewp. That be a Helldiver bomber. The Corsair, Hellcat, and Bearcat are all much smaller. And only have one seat.

To me, any plane thats blue like that, grey on the bottom, and round in the front is a Corsair XD it drives chuck NUTS

I had thought it a TBF at first myself but I looked it up and saw the diff; TBF is skinnier...

And the mention of the bear cat reminds me...

A thousand years ago before comuter games there existed these things called board (NOT bored!) games...one was victory in the pacific?/midway? any whoo, they had thes tiny things called counters (Precomputer pixel/sprites w/no animationat all GASP!) and the game had one lil' counter called a Brewster Buffalo WDF? it had no real desription in the rules book (YES a comic sized book just for rules...*Smirk*...) And that prodded a search (Pre internet Yes such a time existed SIGH!) for the thing...

Now that I've rambled on too long, I'll thank you for the kick in the memory and go search the net for the thing...

Ooooooooh . . .

that is something i've noticed that i always thought of as odd but you don't see a lot of vintage navy craft around

Its true, because it's very costly to keep them operational, and just finding planes that can be made airworthy again is like finding a needle in a haystack.

oh i'm well aware of the cost and all i mean specifically the naval aircraft. all the parts on the navy planes are interchangeable with the ones from the army air cores and i would expect things like corsairs, hell cats, etc. to be more common than they are

yeah, i understand what you are saying, and it is a shame. I thinks its just one of those things that makes no sense, and we will never know why. i will say, i am happy to see what few aircraft are left, and hope they continue to fly for years to come :)
