I keep finding files from the Langley 2016 show that I want to post. Sorry but soon I will move on to other shows.
F4U Corsair Aircraft getting ready to taxi, the motor is running and it is about to start rolling, shot in North Carolina.
First flown in 1940, Corsairs first tasted combat at Guadalcanal. It was there that Corsairs definitely established their aerial superiority over the vaunted Japanese Zero a highly maneuverable aircraft that had previously outperformed all U.S. fighters. The Corsairs were the first American fighters to top 400 miles per hour, and the first to house a 2,000 horsepower engine, making the gull-wing Corsairs the toughest foe faced by enemy pilots. Statements by high
Japanese officers at the end of the war disclosed the fact that they considered the Corsair the top fighter in use by any service in the Pacific.

Airshow season starts near where I live in just a couple of days. I took this photograph a year ago. I expect to see this F4U-4 again several times this summer. I never get tired of seeing and hearing these amazing Corsairs.

A restored US Navy F4U Corsair from WWII flying during the Warbirds demo at the 2025 Abbotsford International Airshow. It flew alongside a P51 Mustang and a P38 Lightning. One of my favorite planes from that era.
