When I see that Savoy headin' off the edge of the flattop I can't help but think I should see the silhouette of Calvin and Hobbes in the front seat!!

Sam,

You've got that right. Reminds me of one of my Calvin favorites.

Wow, good stuff. The Corsairs are hands down the coolest WWII fighter the Navy and Marines had.

During the Korean war there was a Naval Air reserve station
in Akron Ohio where I lived as a kid. We were less than a mile from the end of the runway. I could stand in the front yard and look stright up at the pilots and make out there googles and flying caps

alot of the time in the summer they would still have there canopies open.
At the time I was 6 or 7 years old, it made a lasting impression on a little kid. I never build alot of model cars untill I was a teen, it was all about the Fighters and Bombers. Probably why I became an aircraft mechanic

Here is some more info on the Goodyear built birds and a good list of all modles of the Corsair built. Including the F2G Goodyear Corsair with the R4360 in it

, the Navy never took possesion of any of those, Korea was winding down and the Jet Age was upon us.....Man I miss that sound..
