Yikes! I get a little nervous when I see a plane in that attitude at that altitude! After the summer when I witnessed a P-51 go in and the RAF Nimrod crash into Lake Ontario I get a little nervous when aircraft are doing really low level maneuvers. Was the performance with this Corsair as nerve racking as it looks in the picture?
