I have always been partial to the Corsair.
FWIW, there is the Carolina’s Aviation Museum on the south side of Charlotte that has a collection of vintage planes. Most are displays but there are supposed to be others in storage off-site that are worked on from time to time.
I am a member but have had too many other things going on lately to participate in things. One thing that made me want to join is that they do a lot of hands on stuff. I have located some small pieces and parts on Ebay that I will donate to the museum when I get around to unboxing them.
It isn’t much but I like to contribute what I can to worthwhile projects. Maybe during my Christmas break, I can hang out there some on maintenance and repair days.

They have a DC3 painted up in Piedmont Airlines colors that the museum flies to airshows. I have a few photos of it when I happened to be there when they were bringing it out of the hangar for a test flight.

There is even some ground pounder stuff on display there too. One is a 551 Sheridan. In spite of the problems the Sheridan had, I still kind of like it. Here are a couple of photos of it. The tank is not in the best location for pictures of it alone.

We did a job across the street from the edge of the Van Nuys airport, i’m guessing it was in the late 70s, and in a fenced yard was an unrestored but complete P-38 sitting out in the open.
I’ve always wondered what happened to that bird, it even had the engines on it.
