That museum needs to hire an new historian. That Corsair has markings and paint scheme from 1943. But that is a F4U-4 which wasn’t introduced until 1945.

I’m building an F4U Right now.

+1. Not the popular choice but it holds a special place for me as every summer as a kid we would go visit family in KS. My aunt lived in an apartment across the street from McConnell AFB in Wichita and I would watch them run touch and gos for hours. Something graceful about them.

I like the old Ford Trimotor plane. This one was also used as Lao Che’s plane in Temple of Doom.

Got to watch these badasses go out and intercept a few Russians and practice when I was at JBER a few weeks ago.



Also got to get in a C-17 simulator and do a little flying which was the most awesome thing I’ve ever experienced.

SR 71 is a bad mofo. B 1 and F 22 are also awesome.

The constellation was a pretty bird on the civilian side
