Yeah, Corsair!

Well, a little good news for me given current occurrences. Just found out the local airshow is next month and there will be an F4U there. Also a B2, P-51 and F104 Starfighters, how freakin' kool is that?! http://www.wsairshow.com/performers/

Indeed, nice range of kit there.

Apparently those Starfighters are something to see, or more to the point, hear. They have this signature display where they can run the engine (J79?) at a particular setting and get a one of a kind F-104 sound to it. Aircraft with two J-79s like the F-4 apparently can't get the unique sound. That'd be neat to see (hear). And the rest of the lineup is awesome too!

Given the starfighter is on it's way out, it could well be your last opportunity to see one in the air.

Hey Mayhem, When I was stationned in Lahr Germany (Airfield) in the late 70s, the Royal Canadian Airforce had F104 and they would come in all the time from Baden Baden along with some German F104. They would called them "widow makers" in those times. It was fun to watch them take off and land and taxi right were we were working.

Looks like they just added a Skyraider to the lineup, though I don't think it will be flying in formation with the P-51s. I can't confirm if the pilot will be French or not.
