Now you are starting to make me nervous, NS! First the thread of you leaving the misses for a B-29, now you want a blow up Corsair?

Yeah, that cowling is kind of weird, but what's nice is it gives you shade on sunny days.

Yep, but you need some really long arms to work on the engine if you are on the ground!

The only Russian I know is in English letters (I don't know the name for it) and it's all like..insults from tanks...like written on the side of Lend-lease trucks to the Soviet Union from the USA...USA was sprayed on the side...and the Russians took it to mean Ubiyat Sukinsyna Adolfa (Kill that son of a whore Adolf)

Yes it is, Crazy. The assistant crew chief on that bird is 15 years old! He is the grandson of a WWII B-24 instructor pilot. What an amazing thing he will have to talk to his grandkids about!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed them! I will be getting out to Chino probably in March and will post pics from there as well.

Its great to see Evan, that their are plenty of places around with dedicated people keeping such parts of history alive lest we forget what sacrifices people made in order that we may have a life such as this and on the aniversary of the liberation of Auswich it comes into even sharper relief

(A moments reflection please gentlemen)

it's been confirmed that for the 60th anniversary of VE and VJ day the canadain lanc's been invited to britain to join PA474 (for the first time ever) and take part in a huge flypast over london and proberly the RIAT the next weekend, however this, if it does go ahead, will have to be founded largely by the RAF ans the canadain lanc is a civilian aircraft (PA474 is owned by the RAF) and they cannot afford to bring it themselfs, and there's many many risks involved.............
