: I have ridden in this Corsair before. It was easily one of
: the most exciting things I have ever done. Look in the W
: IX gallery under my name for a picture of the event.

: It's not the most comfortable ride and you don't have any
: forward visibility because of the armor plate. If you wei
: gh much more than about 160lbs or are over about 5'7" tall
: , it would be nearly impossible to get in it. I am also pr
: etty convinced that you couldn't get out of the back seat
: in the event of an emergency because of the airstair door.
: On top of that, most Corsairs seem to split apart at the
: production break during a crash. That would leave the pa
: ssenger with a front row seat for the action. No matter h
: ow dangerous it is, I will do it again!

: As far as other 2-seat Corsairs go, Jr. Burchinall told me
: one time that he had very basic controls in one of his Co
: rsairs back in the 70'when he operated his famous warbird
: flying school.
