What are the numbers of F4U's, any dash number, that are flying? Are there any airworthy hulks being brought back to life? What is the possibility of finding a Corsair tucked away in a hanger or barn in New Zealand or France?

For survivor info and such check out our registry at

As for finding one in a barn anywhere... it would probably be easier and more likely to win the lottery. But you never know.

Welcome!
There are others better qualified to comment, but here's a few quick answers:

A fair number. There was a recent gathering at the factory. Have a search through the forum to get up to speed on this and other Corsair stuff.

Yes.

Very unlikely and almost impossible. :D

Best wishes

There is a somewhat forgotten project tucked away in a hangar in New Zealand. Last I heard, the owner was willing to sell it for $750,000 as long as the buyer was a native of that country.
