If you're into WW2 aviation, you might enjoy the facts presented on the F4U Corsair that was on display at this year's OshKosh 2022.
Beautiful aircraft. cool

I used to work for AOPA and worked this event every year.

The Warbird area was one of my favorites to visit. I lusted over this F4U (or one just like it) and a highly polished P-51 Mustang the last time I was there.

I really miss it and need to get back up there as a spectator!

Thanks! The Corsair and Thunderbolt are two of the baddest and most beautiful WWll aircraft.

I like the P38, P51 and the P47, is that known as the "Thunderbolt"?
