And I would do just about anything to be able to fly a Spitfire, Mustang, and Corsair... What beautiful birds.
The Corsair reminds me of the Strike Eagle of today. Lindbergh showed they could carry the bomb load of a medium bomber and then dogfight with the best of them on the way home. They were not as docile as some of the others. Maybe like an early 911 Turbo where in the right hands it is great, but it will bite you if you get lax.
