• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

The 11 participating Corsairs included:

CAF Dixie Wing FG-1D
Mid America Flight Museum FG-1D
Military Aviation Museum FG-1D
Louis Horschel FG-1D
Ron Lauder (Ellenville) FG-1D
Wings of the North F4U-4
Jim Tobul F4U-4
Collings Foundation F4U-5
Lone Star Flight Museum F4U-5
Fighters & Legends F4U-5

Unfortunately two of the Corsairs which were planned to participate were significantly damaged in separate accidents in recent months - the John O'Connor F4U-7 was damaged in a takeoff accident back in May, and the Vintage Wings of Canada FG-1D was damaged in an emergency landing accident just last month.

At this time, there are 28 Corsairs flying world-wide:

Austria: 1 (OE-EAS)
France: 1 (F-AZEG)
Germany: 1 (D-FCOR)
United Kingdom: 1 (G-FGID)
United States: 24 (N83782, N700G, N773RD, N11Y, N83JC, N46RL, N72NW, N29VF, N43FG, N209TW, N451FG, N9964Z, N4TF, N240CF, N72378, N713JT, N45NL, N43RW, N179PT, N494M, N1337A, N5588N, N4901W, N4634)

**VH-III, in Australia, may be flying again within weeks, and ZK-COR, in New Zealand, is currently chained down due to a legal issue.**
 
That is flat out cool...I can just hear Pappy now from the old TV show: "Tighten it up, you meatheads..."
