The link was sent to me by an old friend who flew Skyraiders in Vietnam. He says he still has good feelings about those huge round engines. Awfully complicated, though, especially compared to a SeaRey with a Rotax.<br /><br />The first time I ever saw a Corsair was when a relative took me to the 1948 Cleveland Air Races. Corsairs, P-51s, P-47s. In the Thompson Trophy race, they'd roar past the grandstand no more than 500 feet out and 100 feet up, roll 90 degrees to the left, and pull around the pylon, with condensation trails boiling from the wingtips. I came home with ringing ears and the worst sunburn of my life--but what a day!
