This makes me nuts. An irreplaceable Corsair is lost in an air race -
a Super Corsair at that, which I think was one of a handful of R-4360
powered F4Us. Glad the pilot got out, but another piece of history is
gone, and for no good reason IMHO...

Kingfish:
This aircraft was not a stock F4U by any means. It was not even a
factory built aircraft. It did not posses a serial number from the
manufacturer or Navy. This airframe was built completely from spare
parts and many custom made parts. Thus, as an airframe, it had no
history. If this helps your regret..............
