: In 1995 I attended the Dayton air show. There were two be
: autiful Corsairs in attendance. The problem was that the
: air show goers did not have access to these two Corsairs f
: or a walkk around. Unfortunately I was not able to get th
: e civil registrations. With the aid of the zoom lens I wa
: s able to get some good pictures. I checked the Warbirds
: Registry and the Living Legends web pages and discovered t
: hat one of them was 124669/N4901W, however I have not been
: able to identify the other. Here is a description...
:
: - might be an F4U-4 (but I am not an expert)
: - USN markings over all dark blue
: - a yellow tip on the vertical tail
: - "112" on the cowl
: - "12" on landing gear doors
: - "F" on the tail

: ...for all I know the paint scheme may have been changed s
: ince I got my picture. Does anyone know the ID of this Co
: rsair?

If you would like a photo of each, before and after just e-mail me and I'll JPEG a couple to you. Do you know about the Gathering of Corsairs and Legends Airshow that will be held in Mt. Comfort, Indiana Sept. 6-7-8 2002. All the Flyable Corsairs in the US, and about 75 Corsair Drivers from WWII and the Korean War. If not take a look at this: www.corsairgathering.com
