Hi. Sorry. It has been a long time since I took that photo. However,
I don't believe it is a Corsair. I do remember them making a big deal
about it being a rare bird made by the same company that made the
Corsair but for the life of me, I can't remember the
name/designation. It even has the Corsair style wings. Also, I do
remember them saying it was probably one of very few if not the only
one still flying.

It's a Corsair. The "big deal" was probably the fact that it's not an
Vought F4U Corsair but a Goodyear FG Corsair or a Brewster F3A Corsair.
Most likely a Goodyear FG Corsair, I believe the only Brewster F3A in
existence is on a flatbed and the USN is being a real dick about
repossessing it.

It's a Corsair (F4U) allright. It was also built by another company
whose name escapes me at the moment, but I believe that those planes
were called FG-1.


The Corsair was built by Goodyear as the FG and by Brewster as the F3A.
