Great photo on the beach. We are used to seeing fighters at Osh all dolled up, it's good to see the way they were in combat, Note the Marine Corp. use of natural chocks, I thought we only did that in Boulder.

I'd love to see a Corsair painted up like those in the last picture. That would be a cool site.

I'd love to see a truly authentic battle hardened paint scheme come out of a restoration shop. This seems like the logical step towards true authenticity in warbirds. Great photos!!
