We have a corsair at the Tri-State Warbird Museum. Its in pieces though as it has not been restored yet(Too many other aircraft being worked on right now). It has some interesting history including the fact it was used when they did the Ba Ba Black Sheep Series(Robert Conrad play Boyington).

None of these are fully put together in the photos...Corsair is the last one. Its mind boggling to think what it costs to restore these things. They cost more than K-36's!!! The museum gets a lot of corporate funding, and has a huge Gala each June thats the biggest fundraiser. Too bad the C&TS cannot do something like that to attract funding and support!!!
