Someone recently told me there are only 2 Corsairs in existence and only one is airworthy. That seemed unbelievable to me. What are the facts?

According to Air & Space Magazine there are about 30 left with 10 to 15 still flyable.

Thanks... the 2 number seemed unreal to me. I was watching a video from the museum in Seattle yesterday and they had a fully restored one that probably would be flyable right there too.
