EP 53: F4U down, and shop update
I had a mishap with a Corsair I have been flying since 2008. I have repaired it several times over the years with little fender benders, and scrapes and dents, but this time… I just didn’t feel like pasting the little pieces back together and opted to upgrade to a new “standing Corsair” for my ready to fly fleet. Also I introduce a new hangar queen project and discuss what is coming up on the building tables. It’s good to be back in the shop again.
