I too recall a Corsair at Mojave in the early '80s but I remember it having white undersides. We escaped the Mojave sun in the shade of the Corsair while we ate our lunch. This would have been probably '82 or '83. I recall that Rutan was nearing completion of Voyager at the time. Other warbirds I recall seeing were a Tigercat in fire bomber colors, an FJ Fury, a partially dismantled B-25, and a Hawker Hunter. Of course there were the Flight Systems Phantoms and maybe an F-86 or two also. I was very young at the time but the place definitely was exciting for the airplane enthusiest!
