Cockpit view of the Corsair hot start. The Pratt and Whitney R-2800 roars to life and idles smoothly before one of our Legacy Flights last weekend. Pay no attention to the noisy jet thingy next to me! #f4u #corsair #horsepower #flynavy #navy #f35 #avgeek #instagramaviation #aviationdaily #warbird #history #awesome | QuickSilver P-51

Among the most favorite aircraft of warbird fans, the F4U Corsair. And you can climb in the cockpit yourself in our own beautifully restored Corsair inside one of our hangars for "Open Cockpit" this Saturday January 4th from 10:30am-12:30pm. A most formidable carrier based fighter-bomber that Naval Aviators flew to a kill ratio of 11:1 in World War II. You will be amazed sitting in the pilot's seat as to how huge this aircraft is at 9,200 pounds with it's 2,380hp Pratt & Whitney radial engine. C
