Seventy-four years ago today, the Vought F4U Corsair took flight for the first time.

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.

Also available in a kit...
