Thanks for clearing that up, Rob. After re-reading your email I figured that that was probably now the airplane in Washington. Glad it went to a deserving home.

A friend of mine used to maintain Corsairs in the French Navy and speaks very highly of their overall servicabilty, especially given that they were hammering them onto the ship nearly every day. The SB2Cs that they also had aboard though...different story.

I don't see any other -7's listed in the Warbirds Directory. You'd have thought that the French would have kept just one?
