Some may recall Col. Joe Kittinger and Rosie O'Grady's Flying Circus (part of Bob Snow's Church Street Station entertainment complex in Orlando).

​

Rosie's had several Ag Cats, and a few other planes. This one was bought a year or two ago by skywriter Jerry Stevens ( https://www.ospreyobserver.com/2020/06/holy-smokes-brings-messages-of-hope-to-the-sky/ ) and lives a few hangars down from me at KGIF.

I'm curios about that pod on the wing of the Corsair. Stowage for old laundry? Radar? Legitimately curious.

Night Fighting Corsairs

By Robert F. Dorr and Fred L. Borch Just before it was drawn into World War II, the United States began developing a night fighter version of one of its most famous warplanes. The result was not pretty, but it was practical. “Before the war, when night arrived, you stowed your planes inside the...

@Velocity173 I've flown at least two of those jets - can't quite make out the tail number on the Kadena bird.
