Vought F-4U Corsair

...
Thanks 4 looking Smiley


 

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

I have officially decided that I should stop looking at Simv Screenies Because the last time patchz posted pics of the f4u I spent a week looking for it and when I finally got it, I was sooo dissapointed Angry.
 

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

The Corsair is definitely my favorite WWII bird, and was eyeballing the Aircraft Factory Corsair just last week. Knowing that Aircraft Factory is basically A2A... and seeing these shots here... I've decided to get it.
On my next paycheck that is!
