Corsair - I am droolin'!

Now, don't quote me, BUT, I believe there is a second seat in this thing.  I live in MN, heading to Fargo soon to see this sweet plane!

Single seat in that one.  I think there's another corsair up there that might have the jump seat.

wonder what that first one is worth.. was only 10 of them made according to the text on the site. To think they sold them for $1,500 bucks after the war..  :cry

Saw this bird in person in Reno last year. No second seat from what I could see.
