No. Not an Avenger. That's a F4U Corsair. A totally different type of
bird.


Hi. Sorry. It has been a long time since I took that photo. However, I
don't believe it is a Corsair. I do remember them making a big deal about
it being a rare bird made by the same company that made the Corsair but
for the life of me, I can't remember the name/designation. It even has the
Corsair style wings. Also, I do remember them saying it was probably one
of very few if not the only one still flying.

It's a Corsair (F4U) allright. It was also built by another company whose
name escapes me at the moment, but I believe that those planes were called
FG-1.
Somebody added an exhaust pipe.
