As of this evening they were 1/2 way towards that goal.  Image hosted by forum (727942) © Lupo-Lobo [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff. Lupo

It is a good looking plane. I also like the B17 (especially later versions) and the Mustang. I always thought the B17 and the DC3 were what prop planes should look like. And the Mustang just looks fast and deadly.

May 18, 2015 01:57 | #6 Thanks guys ... geesh, the more time I spend around these flying history lessons, the harder it is to choose a favorite. I count myself lucky to be able to spend the time I do with them.  Image hosted by forum (728274) © Lupo-Lobo [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff. The Cavanaugh Flight Museum’s Corsair is finished in the armament arrangement of an F4U-1C, having 4, wing mounted 20MM cannons. The paint scheme is that of Major Archie Donahue’s Corsair when he served with VMF-112 at Guadalcanal. On May 13, 1943, Maj. Donahue destroyed five Zero aircraft in a single engagement, thus becoming an “Ace-in-a-day”. Maj. Donahue is one of only 7 Marine pilots to accomplish this feat. He repeated this accomplishment by destroying another 5 enemy aircraft over Okinawa in 1945 while serving with VMF-451. He is credited with a total of 14 aerial victories and his decorations include the Navy Cross, three Distinguished Flying Crosses, and five Air Medals. Lupo

Spitfire, P-38, Mustang, Corsair, Lancaster Bomber, B-17, Mosquito, Constellation, Catalina, DC-3 and Fairey Swordfish are but a few of my favorites.
