I have mentioned this on another thread in the past, Bill Fornof told us he stayed in the Naval Reserve as long as he could fly round engine fighters. His last summer drill, 1949, was in California flying Corsairs. Returning from a flight, the landing gear did not indicate "three in the green" when extended, so he requested a tower fly by so they could see if L/G was down and locked. Tower responded, "Yessir, down and locked and the fire's out, too."
