"Oshkosh 2004, Corsair"

Dale,

Have to comment on your grass cutting passes in Jim Reed's Corsair, they were great (got the attention of all around us as well).

While most of the warbirds made "nice" passes during the warbird part of the show; if you were observant, you would look up and see a Corsair high above all. Then, the Corsair would roll into a dive and come screaming down onto the deck and go whistling down the runway. A crisp pull-up would trade the speed for altitude (it seemed Dale like you were on the verge of a stall at the top), and then another screaming dive.

Too bad you don't have two seats; thats a ride I bet would be eye opening!

Has anyone got any photos of these passes?

I think I took some; not sure I have had them all developed yet. Will have to check.
