Yeah, there's just something about them and some other planes of that era.. The Japanese called the F4U 'whistling death' due to the unusual sound they made in a dive I believe.NEB wrote: The Corsair was a great plane. I saw a squadron of them fly by at the beach back east many years ago-I remember the throaty sound of the engines being almost hypnotizing!
Imagine being a new pilot in the war about to depend on the Corsair to save your life while in battle and watching this in ground school:

Yeah very expensive.. Your lucky to have VFR I know I wish I had mine..NEB wrote: I didn't make it into the IFR world, though I would like to. Right now its just too much dough.
