This is the infamous #68 that broke apart during a forced landing near Breckenridge, Texas on April 1, 1993. It and two other Corsair projects have all reportedly been purchased by the same man and all are supposedly candidates for airworthy restoration. Time will tell, but this should prove to be a real boost to the flying F4U population over the next four or five years.
