The F4U and pilot are from my hometown. The Erickson Aircraft Museum has many military aircraft and they are all airworthy. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/NfXBH8GM/7-D1-D71-B4-EBFD-446-F-A003-70-AC99-DAD875.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/7Pdqhtkd/884-E41-AC-3-BC8-4-A36-A492-2-B45-A13-E5791.jpg)

My son and I saw it today. Much better than Maverick IMHO.

The book was very good, but too often the movie version falls way short of the story line of the book. Blackhawk down is a excellent example. not even close to the book. The movie was ok but having read the book first, it was a disappointment. Very good book! If you like the Corsair there was a nice but short section on acquiring one and flying it in Frank Tallman's long out of print book "Flying the Old Planes".

The F4U and pilot are from my hometown. The Erickson Aircraft Museum has many military aircraft and they are all airworthy. Holy Smoke! What a beautiful work of art that F4U is 😎😎😎😎 Reminds of the time, after 20 years living here, that there was an actual Focke-Wulf 190 on display at the little Texas Air Museum right here at Stinson Field on the south side of San Antonio. Friggin’ awesome plane even if it wasn’t restored to full flying condition 😎 Sadly, it has since been relocated IIRC to Midland TX

I went and saw it Thursday. I liked “The Bridges at Toko Ri” better.
