Great memories, Bill. The close friend of mine who took me to see the Corsair piloted them in the latter part of WWII and in Korea. He flew for a time with the Black Sheep squadron in the South Pacific. His stories of flights in those planes are indelibly imprinted in my mind. I have a pic of him in his F4-U, taken by a wingman, somewhere. If I can find it I'll post it here, in memory of him and his sorties, if for nothing more.
