Do not forget to get your copy of the Corsair Experience..!! It is "AWESOME" and will be a Corsair Collectors item for years to come. I liked the whole set of DVD's, and E Fighter Production did a GREAT Job...!!! Hat's off tto the film crew, and all the hard work they did. There is some Color Corsair footage from WWII that has never been released before and I was shocked to see it, WOW it was Great.

Happy Contrails!

There was concern from a couple of emails I recieved that the order site was not secure, that is and was not the case. I have changed the way the storefront opens and now you all should be able to see the locked icon designating the site is secure.

I just wanted you all to know.

I couldn't find the expected shipping date on the site, so i'll ask. When can we expect these in the mail?

[corsairboss]

I want to tell everyone that I received the first 4 hours of the Corsair Experience from E-Fighter Production. I was very impressed with the format, and the interviews, and the flying scene's in the show. There is alot of B/W still photos in the movie, as well as "Color" Corsair Footage that has never been seen before.!! E-Fighter is telling me they hope to have them done by the end of the month and shipping to start ASAP. I know we are all waiting for this, and just be patient, as you will be every glad at the end project. The forth disc will have a slide show from the Corsair Gathering as well as the production shots from the making of the set. This is one DVD set that will be around for a long time, because I'm sure the rest of you are tired of seeing the same stock video from Discovery Wings and the History Channel.

i was in the air classics magazine b-25 mitchell at mt comfort indiana in the dorsal gun turret for some aerial pic shooting that day with jim read's corsair off our wing. that was my 1st warbird flight & a thrill of my life time!! micheal o'leary editor of air classics was in the tail position shooting pics for future magazine issues. i managed to get on board that flight because i have written 3 magazine articles for air classics & warbirds magazines. the guys who filmed the video were in the nose on that same flight! i shot a pile of my own pics of read's corsair that day too. it was an experience i will never forget!! i'm getting the video too, it will be an extra special souvenir for me!! regards, tom
