I hope the pilot was OK. Terrible loss of a great plane.

On one hand I LOVE to see/hear the warbirds fly.
OTOH, the loss of each one is a piece of irreplaceable history lost to my children's children.

That's one realistic re-enactment. Scratch one vintage warbird. I wonder what happened.

The Corsair has always been my favorite WW2 plane. Sad loss...

Hey, I was at this race, this was the'93 Phoenix 500. Seems like they pilot damaged his ankle on the empenage, but was otherwise OK.
Bumber, this was one of the R-4360 powered Corsairs Goodyear built.
