A Vought F4U Corsair flying in a demo the 2026 Abbotsford Airshow. One of three Warbirds that flew in the flyover. It flew a solo demo later on in the airshow and was fantastic, pilot handled the old warbird well. This is one of my favorite planes from WWII and it's always a delight to see one fly.

It entered initial service in 1959, and was replaced by the T-45 Goshawk in 2008.
