Recently I acquired some old pictures from a woman named Sue French whose father was one of the test pilots for the Corsair at Vought. Im sure he was as much a character as his daughter. I've laid my eyes on many more older pictures that John French took, and I'm hoping to receive them to scan soon. Here are my crappy scans of these few she gave me. There located at my blog here: http://ctair-space.blogspot.com/ Sorry I didn't post them here directly but enjoy!

Those are some beautiful photos from a bygone era. That's Nick's bird right? Didn't that become "Marines Dream"?
