Now, now, be fair, boys. There is at least some truth to the statement...just ask Chuck Hall!

"Hall's first Mustang lasted seven years, when he decided to "upgrade" to the F4U Corsair. The Corsair turned out to be a lot more work, as well as a lot more costly to keep flying. Hall also said it wasn't so much fun to fly. After eight years of Corsair ownership, he went back to a P-51 Mustang just last November."
