Here's a bunch of nice corsair images for the Stratford CT guys and gals. Again nice job with the young ones. Much needed for those poor folks, so here's wishing they had a small amount of peace from what you all did for them. Congrats.
Would be great to see a 'birdcage' corsair flying someday. Isn't one being restored to fly?
