Holy smokes, I didn't realize this one had ended up with the Sanders bunch! Any idea what the time frame for completions is estimated to be? I'm sure it will be a beautiful job when it's finished, looking forward to it.

Nice works

Which plane is in the background of this picture ? A B-23 ?

EDIT: I found the answer on their website: I didn't know that B-23 was actively restored to flying status

Yet another interesting Corsair restoration to join the Connecticut Corsair, the Warbird Heritage Foundation's Corsair and others. Do we know which B-23 this is or where it came from?

The B-23 is the example owned by Jim Slattery (whose aircraft have come up quite a bit lately: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=48082&hilit=), serial no. 2719, N747M.

Thank you Dan for the heads up on the latest progress photos being posted of the Corsair restoration! I always enjoy seeing the original paint and primer finishes on the interior surfaces and confines that has remained since original manufacture.

Pat

Check your CW #81 which has the article on Sanders ('Sea Fury Kings') - all these projects are detailed.

You're always welcome, John.


My favorite pics are the attack dog sequence:

That dog is in the same position on at least two different days! maybe he's stuffed and just used to scare people away! :D
Love to see another Corsair in the air!

The registered owner of this Corsair also has other project birds registerd to them.
According to Father FAA- DB Aero Inc also owns 5 SeaFury projects N38SF, N46SF, N59SF, N62SF, and N985HW. I would assume the Sea Fury Kings at Sanders would be restoring these as well. Does anyone know if that is the case? They also own N3N-3 N45131, does anyone know if that is a project or a current flyer?

According to their website, N45131 has been flying since 2008.

The dog is lulling you into a false sense of security it's coiled spring , get too close to the aircraft and it will leap up and rip out your juggler ...jugoler...throat ;)
