As many darn corsairs we can get in the air! I want to see 8. 2 - 4 ship flights, man that would something to see

Wasn't there a big Corsair get-together in 2002 or 2003?

Here's an idea for the 75th anniversary...
A Corsair fly-in to "Pappy" Boyington Field in Coeur d'Alene , Idaho.

And get yourself a present...an exact replica of the official Factory Desk model made by Topping.
