Del.18 Oct 1946 The Lone Star Flight Museum's Corsair is a night fighter version that was built for Argentina where it served during the 1950s. It was placed on outdoor display at an Argentine Navy base for over 30 years before the museum purchased the aircraft. It was restored by Ezell Aviation in Breckenridge, TX and is painted in the colors of Annie Mo, a Corsair flown by Lt Guy Bordelon, the only Navy ace, night-fighter ace, and piston-driven ace of the Korean War. photo dedicated to Kevin Walsh, Mark Pinsky, Yankee Air Museum and all the wonderful people at Thunder Over Michigan This photo is copyright © André DuPont - MAS Aviation Press, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
