Wellington Aero Club Open Day 2010 #17: Goodyear FG-1D Corsair - post 2 of 2

Here are some of my favourite Corsair pictures. The start-up of these older engines is always impressive ["smokey" :-)], and in this case almost half the plane disappears in the smoke.

After this are a couple of shots of the wings being lowered [now might be a good time to see how little metal appears to hold those wings on!], followed by taxi then departure.
