No problem Tulio :) This inquiry has piqued my intrest in this mission once again. I'm planning on contacting the surviving ferry pilots over the next couple of days so they can flesh out the details. I think only two of them (Bob Forbes & Mike Penketh) are still around.

John Silberman also mentioned that he saw five or six of what apparently were Corsairs in FAH paint schemes on the tarmac at Deming, New Mexico during 1980 or so. I've always been curious what they were doing there (paint, maintenance, etc).
