So, that is the former Pirate's Corsair?

So now that you posted it, I guess you probably can't tell us any details because you want to tease us, right? :)

Does the owner want to be recognized or lay incognito?

Nice to see the F3A in Texas.
My guess is that the owner will remain quiet for a bit before letting us all in on his plans for the Brewster.

If that's the case, then he should have John Lane do the restoration since he is the master of historic Corsair restorations!

I agree. Lex is a hero to me for caring for this airplane enough to go through hell to get it. I will always consider it Lex's Corsair! :)
