navy corsair, vought f4u. Was a very powerful, very fast wwII and in Korea airplane. It had a 13' diameter prop coupled with the 2,000 hp engine and so much torque they had to be careful on carriers not to flip it on the deck! Very fast in the air as a fighter bomber. ".....The Vought F4U Corsair is an American fighter aircraft that saw service primarily in World War II and the Korean War. Demand for the aircraft soon overwhelmed Vought's manufacturing capability, resulting in production by Goodyear and Brewster: Goodyear-built Corsairs were designated FG and Brewster-built aircraft F3A. From the first prototype delivery to the U.S. Navy in 1940, to final delivery in 1953 to the French, 12,571 F4U Corsairs were manufactured,[2] in 16 separate models, in the longest production run of any piston-engined fighter in U.S. history (1942–53).[3][4][5]"

Super shots.

Very nice shots and thank you for using a slow enough shutter speed to blur the props. My thanks also to Lance Pearson for his narrative on the F-4U. As a point of interest, my avatar shows the second generation of the Corsair name - the jet version in my photo is the A-7D Corsair II and was also built by Vought and used a turbofan engine built by Detroit Diesel Allison. It was primarily an air to ground attack aircraft and could carry a lot more bombs on racks under the wings than the B-17 of WWII fame could carry internally and do it at 500kts indicated airspeed.
