La Ferté-Alais

Post by planekees »

Together with a few friends I visited the well known annual warbirdshow in France. It was hot and very crowded! Some pictures of the event:

Very nice shots :clap: :clap: Any word on the F4U-5N Corsair that was being restored there. I saw a photo of her in 2009, she didn't look too far from being done.

Would like to see her fly over here, maybe at Legends...

Lance, I heard she was on static at La Ferte-Alais, though I don't know if this is true. She does look gorgeous :drool:

That would be great to see her fly over here at a show in the UK. Very nice looking Corsair. I miss seeing the "Bent Wing Bird" flying.

Hey Lance, I found a vid on Youtube of the show, and I have found a few pics of the Corsair. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ike78-OwClo&feature=fvst The pics of her are at 10 seconds. As I said before, she looks gorgeous.
