    Finally, after waiting since I was a kid, I finally got to see a F4U Corsair not only fly but take pictures up close. I can now die a happy man! Took my kids to the Warhawk Air Museum Air Show in Nampa, ID last weekend where we saw three P-40 Warhawk's, three different P-51 Mustangs (including the Boise Bee), a P-38 Lightning, a B-25 Mitchell, some T-6's and torpedo bombers and of course the F4U Corsair. So glad I took my kids there to hear the 1940's music and watch these warbirds fly right over us.

      There had been a video that Diamond P sports had of an unspecified carrier at sea 1944 had a flock of Corsairs warming up on deck and taking off. It was that long ago it was on Beta tape early mid 1980s. I had worn that tape out to this day it is my favorite aircraft of all time and my shop & offices is smothered in model Corsairs and RC Corsairs. I am a marine black squadron A-10 pilot. Don't let em fool ya only the AF flies the A-10 that ain't true no more after Iraq. Marines have 2 black Squadrons of em 4 planes each. I flew way over 90 sorties over Iraq. The Navy disqualified me because I am color blind but that leads to other gifts like being able to read a bill board a little less than a half mile away which still blows my families minds and being able to see right thru a camo covered target and detect movement because I might be color blind but I am extremely far sighted. I can totally smoke a target 4 to 6 miles away & not even use electronic sighting. And I truly believe in my heart that Greg Pappy Boyington had my very same handicapped blessings from hearing reading stories about him. One tail of Boyington is the fact he just saw a glint of a little tiny reflection out of the corner of his eye in his canopy window went inverted straight down came back up like rocket ship and smoked a Zero that was after him with a single burst from his guns. Fantasy? No not if he had my eye sight gift not at all. I have high perf vision perception and I could have done such a thing as I am thee one thee only A-10 jock to ever have smoked a soviet made Mig over the Iraq Iran border ever. I saw a glint pulled my flaps and my speed brake jammed the throttle to nil went over on one wing saw the mig and smoked it with my gun not a rocket. The guy blew by me fired one rocket at me way too late. Then his butt was all mine. Boyington was god gifted not just a gifted pilot he had some other attributes other people regular people cannot comprehend. It was not all skill. Some of the skills were gods giftings.

      Somewhere Greg Boyington is smiling down on all of us watching this stuff. I felt a kinship with Greg pappy when I got drafted into Iraq in 2001. I was accused of being him. I am a nonconformist sheet kicker. A man of my own style even begged to be court marshalled just like Greg did in late 1943 at the end of the war just before he was captured he had had enough. Greg I think was captured sometime early in 44 and said he just rode his days out in the prison camp because the Japanese treated him okay knowing how controversial the guy was they were not gonna abuse him that much. Upon his return from capture he told a senator I think was named Rolland to go to hell when the senator wanted to use him as campaign cow Boyington told the Senator to go sheet in his hat. In a bizarre twist Boyington insisted he had constantly been having drinks and meals with one of the Generals that ran the prison camp Yahatshi something I think was the Generals name. Boyington insisted as long as their talks began with the advancements he knew of concerning U.S. Navy war ships they then thereafter continually talked about what their endeavors would be after the war was over. Boyington said Yahatshi said it was too bad his daughter couldn't hook up with a warrior of Greg's stature. Greg wrote in his book he took it as compliment not a come on.

    My dad used to fly a PzL-104 Wilga which also had a big radial engine, although nowhere near as powerful as the Pratt and Whitney R2800 on the Corsair. Every time we took her out I got the job of pulling the prop through 8-10 blades until the oil that had pooled in the lower cylinders had worked through the exhausts and started pouring out on the ground. Even then the start up was always loud and messy and we burned a lot of oil before it finally kicked in.

Flew in Korea, Black Sheep Squadron TV, and was flown as #205 in the upcoming movie "Devotion" based off Adam Makos' book (Tom Hudner's plane). It flies under a new scheme now since it was reunited with a pilot who flew it in Korea. They painted it to look like as he flew it.
