Pardue Corsair Sold

Posted by Rob Mears on Thu Apr 25, 2002 06:54:26 PM

Howard Pardue's F4U-4 Corsair (BuNo.97302) has officially changed hands, and is slated for restoration at Ezell Aviation in Breckenridge, Texas. I've yet to determine who the new owner is. Nelson Ezell is also bringing in another unidentified Corsair project in from Florida to be restored. That will make three active Corsair projects for Ezell Aviation by this summer. Randy Tate and the rest of the specialists there are going to be up to their ears in blue birds real soon :)

Only John Lane's Airpower Unlimited in Gerome, Idaho has more active Corsair restoration projects. Lane is currently restoring three FG-1D's (BuNo.92106, 92213, 92489) and an F4U-5N (BuNo.124486).
