: I remember the article thitled "The Great Honduran Corsair
: Caper" in an Air Progress magazine, and would love to rea
: d it again. Any chance it could be posted?

I have a rough B&W photocopied version of that article that I could probably scan and post. I really need to see if I can find an original issue of Air Progress for that article. Orrin Carr was the author (and one of the six pilots). In the near future I'm going to try to contact his family about the article and some of his photos that were featured in it.

I think "The Great Honduran Corsair Caper" article definately deserves a reprint in one of the modern warbird magazines. I'm assembling my own account of the recovery for my book, but Mr. Carr had his own unique way of relating his experiences ;)
