Look at the sheet metal work, what a master craftsman!

Thank you to all that have posted a reply to this thread. I have been so busy building a new workshop ( 40' X 60' ) and a 3700 sq ft log home that I have not had a lot of time for Corsair cerebral pursuits. I am totally aware of the efforts of Corsair82pilot and am probably his greatest fan! I...

Thanks Micdrow for the Corsair info. Well done! Bobby

Thanks for the warm welcome, especially from all the down underers! Same to you mates!

When you flew the Special Forces missions did you ever put them out on parachute missions? I always loved doing parachute missions with foreign services. While I was on active duty I received the Korean, Argentine, Thai and Canadian Jump wins. Fun stuff!
