Thanks friend. I was pretty sure it was a E-3, but had no idea where. Never seen this pic before today...
That's awesome. You certainly know your a/c history
. As memo serves there are other pics of the series taken durning the tests. One of them has been attached above.

Korea not Vietnam. And it was a F4U Corsair. Im not too knowledgeable on post ww2 a/c. But i know the skyraider was a good plane. Didnt know that fact that it also downed a Mig but thanks for the info. Like the sea fury and later mk of corsair they were reaching the pinnacle/limits of piston/prop technology.

".. Is that Wittmann...?"
Honestly can't tell ... photo didn't identify ... but one of the three tankers has suffered a horrendous facial wound.
