The FG-1D Corsair at Sikorsky Memorial Airport in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Ownership is disputed between the airport, the City, and the Greater Bridgeport Detachment Marine Corps League; a situation which apparently guarantees that the plane will be doomed to rot on its pedestal in that salty upper East Coast environment. An ironic fate for the "representative aircraft" which was erected to watch over the birth place of the ol' Bent Wing Bird.
