Reader Gary Edwards also loves the Corsair and was kind enough to share one of his photos with us.
Planes sometimes are called birds or war birds, but I think it is the Corsair the only one that truly makes you see a bird in flight. Bird of prey, of course.
That’s a really cool picture. Only problem is the aspect ratio is wrong for making it my desktop background.
Like you, I first learned about the Corsair watch Baa Baa Black Sheep. Not that I’m an expert in them, but nothing I’ve learnd about them since has broken my boyhood fascination with them. They’re the very definition of badass.
