THE POP'S IS CLEANING OUT THE BASEMENT AND CAME ACROSS MY BOOK COLLECTION OF "SQUADRON SINGAL BOOKS"
I GOT THE F4U CORSAIR TODAY (1977 PUB) I BOUGHT IN OCT 81 AT TECH SCHOOL.
HE SAID THERE IS ANOTHER BOX IN THERE THAT HAS A BUNCH MORE.
I KNOW THE F-14,B-52,P-40,P-47 AND THE A-10 SHOULD ALL BE IN THAT BOX
I'M KEEPING THE FINGERS CROSSED.
THE COSAIR HAS ALWAYS BEEN A "BIG" FAVORITE"OF MINE

MONEY TALKS,B.S. JUST PILES UP.

That airplane literally brings physical excitement to my wife. She thinks it's the sexiest machine she's ever seen.

What more could a man ask for? Talk about a turn on!

ATTACK!

First over 400 mph in level flight. We have one at the New England Air Museum in Windsor Locks Connecticut. It is a Good year FG-1 Corsair. There is something awesome about that massive prop, short bubble canopy and 4 x 20mm cannons. Not to mention the tailhook. In my book anything with a stinger rocks..............except that other new morph in the fleet that I will fail to mention.

By this time tomorrow I shall have gained either a pearage or Westminster Abbey........Nelson
