FNG - Aircraft of World War II

Corsair82pilot · 01-12-2009, 10:50 PM

Hello all. I just joined up. A friend from another site told me about this one. I hope I measure up.

I am a retired USAF F-4 pilot. I fly Boeing 767s for an airline.

My pet project is an 82% F4U Corsair replica I am building. I was also building a full scale Nakajima Ki-27 (Nate), but some idiot broke into the hangar to rob it and decided to burn it down on his way out. I hope to find him some day.

My Corsair has a web site if anyone wants to visit. (Nothing is for sale on my site)

welcome aboard! Shame about your Ki-27, that would have been awesome to see in the air!

SoD Stitch · 01-12-2009, 11:11 PM

Glad to have you aboard; you should like it here, there are a couple of die-hard Corsair fans here, with good reason.

Welcome O pilot IRL!!!

As for the @sshole who burned down your Kate...as a Buddhist and therefore a believer in reincarnation, I hope in his next life he becomes a pilot who gets a flameout on every takeoff!

I'd hate to see that jacka$$ destroy another plane, even if it took him with it! Maybe something could be dropped on him from high altitude!

How did the F-4 fly in your opinion?

FLYBOYJ · 01-13-2009, 04:40 PM

An F-4 driver - outstanding! I've got a few hours in em, riding crash dummy in the back.

Welcome!

Hello and a warm welcome from England. Really sorry to hear about your 'Kate', let's hope the f***wit ignites himself the next time he tries something like that! And, Oh boy! The F4! Love to hear some more about flying those monsters - very nearly got a back-seat ride (crash dummy, as Joe described it so nicely!) in a RAF FGR2. Did all the tests, training, including decompression, ejection etc, then at the last minute, the MoD put a block on it! Oh well! At least I got to 'fly' the simulator!
