Oh  man, you would have to set something like this up when I'm going on vacation.

Post what time/ date. I'll direct the squad to this thread.

hornet:

Are these F4U-1s or F4U-1As? IIRC the Black Sheep should be in 1As during this time period.

[thndregg]

Will inform when we have time and date. Sounds interesting!:aok

[Hamish]

I would be all over this, if i'm in port during the event anyway =D
