๐ด The Corsair made its mark during WWII & has gone down in history as one of the most iconic aircraft from that time. The Corsair saw action in WWII, mainly in the Pacific theater. It also saw action during the Vietnam and Korean War.
โช The aircraft quickly became well-known for its gull wings, speed and the ability to land and take off from aircraft carriers.
๐ต During its service, โKorean War Heroโ served two tours on two different aircraft carriers and flew over 200 combat missions.
๐ด Joe and Jim Tobul bought the aircraft in 1981 and spent the next 10 years restoring it. On Dec 8, 1991, it took its first post-restoration flight. Today, Jim Tobul flies this Corsair at air shows all across the country.
