I got back from a trip to New England last night.
Went to the Blue Angel airshow practice this morning and then to the
museum library. They say the parts sitting outside the hangar are
from Chance Vought F4U-7 Corsair BUNO 133704 which was on loan to the
Battleship Alabama exposition. It was on display with tail number
129359 as an AU-1 for some reason or another. The aircraft was
damaged by hurricanes and won't be restored until someone donates a
whole passel of money. So sad.




Thanks,
thats pretty much what I had figured, after reviewing available
pictures before & after, but its good to have someone on the ground
verify the facts....
