Vision? I dunno but airframes just don't come much sexier than a F4-U Corsair. You may see some vignetting in these...godawfully bright and the only lens hood I had on hand was for a 105, not a 50.

Thanks, Jim, appreciate it. So, are you in the Bama or Auburn camp?

I really like these images, Kenny.
And I agree about the Corsair's sexiness.
Judging by the hook, I'm guessing the plane worked off an aircraft carrier? In WWII?

That'd be my guess, Charlie. I didn't get an opportunity to speak with the owner(s). This was the static display prior to the actual airshow. BTW, that tailhook doesn't look all that substantial but then, this airframe probably doesn't weigh what a modern fighter does either.

Wonderful image, one of my favorite WWII planes: Spitfire, Corsair, P51 Mustang.

Love to catch a ride in one.

Regards,

Bob

Thanks, Bob. The Mustang is the only one you'd likely catch a ride in, as the other two are single-seaters, I believe.

one of my favorite planes - got one at the EAA last year - posted over on the MF Nikon glass thread (and in b&w)

this is a different paint scheme it seems - the one I saw was all one color (dark blue)

Thanks. This is the first one I've seen with this paint scheme, as well. The others have been dark on top and light underneath.

Excellent images of my favorite WWII aircraft. They were made in my hometown Stratford CT.
