US Marine Corps Vought F4U-5N Corsair night fighter (BuNo 122189) fitted with a wing mounted AN/APS-19 radar at the the Flying Leathernecks Aviation Museum, located at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar (the former US Navy Top Gun school) just north of San Diego, California. Photo taken during my visit to the museum in 2013. This particular aircraft served the USMC from 1948 to 1955, including combat service during the Korean War in 1952. It wears 1952 markings of VMF(N)-513 "Flying Nightmares”. #usmc #semperfi #flymarines #flyingnightmares #voughtcorsair #voughtf4ucorsair #ww2 #koreanwar #coldwar #coldwaraircraft #mcasmiramar #flyingleatherneckaviationmuseum #flyingleathernecks #aviation #avgeek #aviationmuseum #aviationblog #instagramaviation #california #usa #travel #wanderlust #wandering #drifterlife

Tyabb Air Show 2016 (Victoria, Australia) - The mighty gull winged Vought F4U-5NL Corsair fighter in the markings of the Honduran Air Force. The Hondurans were still using the type in combat in the 1969 Football War (100 Hour War) against El Salvador, which saw their Vought Corsairs up against Salvadorian Goodyear FG-1 Corsairs and Cavalier F-51D Mustangs (an armed development of civilian Mustangs)! This was the last known air to air combat by piston engined fighters. The fighting broke out around the time of football matches between the two countries but was actually about a dispute over immigration and land reform issues. #voughtf4ucorsair #corsair #honduranaf #tyabbairshow #tyabbairport #victoria #warbirds #ww2 #coldwar #coldwaraircraft #aviation #avgeek #aviationphotography #aviationblog #instagramaviation #california #usa #travel #wanderlust #wandering #drifterlife

Curtiss P-40C Tomahawk in American Volunteer Group "Flying Tigers" markings at the then Flying Heritage Collection in Washington USA (photo taken May 12th, 2016). The aircraft was actually operated by the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1942, until damaged by German fire near Murmansk and forced to make a belly landing. It sat there until the 1990's, when it was recovered and returned to the United States for restoration and returned to flight. #curtissp40tomahawk #p40tomahawk #flyingtigers #flyingheritagecollection #fhcam #washington #usa #sovietairforce #ww2 #warbirds #aviationhistory #aviationmuseum #aviation #avgeek #instaplane #aviationphotography #aviationblog #wanderlust #wandering #travel #drifterlife
