    Corsair engine ?

    His work attire is incorrect. When the F4U was being built, it was Chance-Vought. Goodyear and Brewster also built them under license. Engines were built by Pratt&Whitney, and also General Motors, also under license.

    Maybe his Chance-Vought overalls were in the laundry and he had to resort to wearing an old set of Vought-Sikorsky overalls.

    A big hangar.
    Maybe of the dirigible kind, like the big ol' hangar(s) at Moffett Field in (next to) Sunnyvale, CA.
    They always fascinated me when I drove by on 101.

    Do you have to rewind the streaming videos when you're finished? You know, like videotapes -- and DVDs?
    Askin' for a friend.

    Oh, while I'm thinkin' about it. Is it OK to use a regular DVD rewinder on Blu-ray DVDs?
    I hope so! :#

    I make sure to rewind all my videos on Netflix and Prime once I'm done.

    ^^^^Love those Hellcats and Corsairs


    On display at the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola FL.

    F6F-3 Hellcat
    The Navy’s front-line fighter during the final two years of World War II, the F6F produced more aces, including leading Navy ace Commander David McCampbell, than any other Allied aircraft. At peak production the airplane’s manufacturer delivered one Hellcat an hour around-the-clock. The aircraft on display is a combat veteran of the Solomon Islands campaign having flown with Fighting Squadron (VF) 38, including missions escorting a plane carrying Vice Admiral William F. “Bull” Halsey.

    FG-1D Corsair

    Originally produced by Vought, the Corsair was in production by multiple manufacturers longer than any piston-engine fighter and flew combat missions in both World War II and Korea. Its most recognizable design feature was an inverted gull wing that was necessary to keep the blades of its 13-ft. propeller from striking the ground. During air combat missions in World War II, more than one Marine pilot downed a Japanese plane by chopping off its tail with this large propeller.


    Note: The best place to see the Blue Angels on their practice days all year at Sherman Field just behind the museum. A very special place.

    The Corsair with those gull wings is one of the sexiest airplanes ever. I built the Monogram model of it when I was a kid, painted exactly that color. Also featured in that show Baa Baa Blacksheep.

    I'm a P51 Mustang fan. Built a model of it with a sliding canopy, removable pilot, prop that spun, wheels folded up and it dropped bombs.

    The Black Sheep kits were made by Revell and were 1/32… The original show was The Flying Misfits, which was a movie of the week and served as the pilot episode of Baa Baa Black Sheep. It was revamped to Black Sheep Squardon for season two. Marine Col. Gregory “Pappy” Boyington served as technical advisor. He also was awarded the CMoH for his heroics after spending time in a Japanese POW camp.

    Saw this on FBM. Struck me in a strange way.

    Selling Everything in Tastefully Designed Bachelor Pad,

    ymsryl331hij.png

    I spent a lot of money and a good amount of time sourcing the highest quality, rare, and most unique furnishing to design my own personal bachelor pad located in an exclusive building in Downtown Atlanta.

    I love everything in this property and I hate to have to sell it but I am moving have reluctantly decided that it would just be easier to sell everything and start fresh. : (

    Items for sale include almost everything you see here, King size bedset ($10k tempur pedic with adjustable base), art pieces, possibly even the Ducati custom motorcycle, sofa, arm chairs, book case, dining table, bar stools, etc etc.
