Hearing first-hand the roar of the Pratt and Whitney engine and seeing the legendary Corsair take off, was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me! Many thanks to the National Museum of World War II Aviation for putting on such an awesome demonstration this past weekend. It was amazing seeing history in flight!
Sit back and relax, the videos are on their way! Just give them a sec to load—they’re best enjoyed in full screen! 🎬✨
