That's awesome. Did someone cut your shirt? Hey, Jim I know your from the Akron area (and a Corsair buff too!), so I thought you'd appreciate the fact that a dozen years ago I solo'd at Akron-Fulton (left hand pattern around the blimp hangar). I could'nt help but think (even at that busy moment) of how many Goodyear FG's took their maiden flight from there in the same airspace. This summer I stood at the north end and watched Jim Tobul's Corsair go right over my head on final. It was awesome! (got it on video of course). Anywho.... CONGRATS AGAIN. My next GREAT solo will be a Corsair.......someday :)
