VOUGHT-SIKORSKY V-166 Corsair (NX45NL)

Nice shot, Dave!

Yup, I love Corsairs! Thanks!

Great pic of this F4U

Curious as to where the air show was as I was stationed at NAS
Quonset Point

Hi John, this air show was at Quonset Point - the RI National Guard annual air show.

Beautiful plane! Nice shot...

Tom and John TYVM, it was cool to see this corsair flying. Glad you liked the picture!

Wx radar on right wing?

Yes, a radar pod on the right wing...

Sean and Dodger this Corsair was a night fighter with radar- info from the Collings Foundation website;
In 1952 BuNo 124692 was transferred to VC-3, based aboard the carrier Essex. From November of 1951, through February of 1952. 124692 flew seventy-seven combat hours over Korea in some of the harshest conditions imaginable. Intense cold, frequent storms, and the dangers of combat made this tour extremely difficult. As a -5NL, 124692 saw most of its service as a night fighter, patrolling the black skies in search of enemy aircraft.

Great shot, Dave. Definitely my favourite WWII, Navy Fighter.

TYVM for the comment Frank!
