If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
Slava Ukraini!

Amazing video! Love it, thanks!
I've read somewhere that the Corsair cockpit is roomier than other WW2 fighters because Vought Chief Test Pilot Lyman Bullard Jr. was a tall man, and Assistant Chief Test Pilot Boone Guyton was a head taller. I'm guessing that influenced the vertical adjustment range of the pilot's seat and rudder pedal adjustment.
In his book "Bax seat", Gordon Baxter tell the story of a Marine pilot over Okinawa who sawed down a Nick with his Corsair when the Corsairs' guns jamed.
