They look like a War Aircraft Replica (WAR) Corsair and a Loehle 5151 Mustang.  If thats the case they use a Continental O-200 in the Corsair and a lawnmower sounding snowmobile engine in the 5151.  Very likely a Rotax 503.

Man, that Corsair must really suffer from serious cooling drag with that scale cowling.  Thanks!

the c-2 is still there, but everything else that were in those pictures have since left as they were apart of the mueseum or were they because the mueseum allowed them to be.

like that dc-3

the only thing at that ramp area is the Warbird Adventures who operate the three T-6 Texans there which was the reason i was there in the first place. and even they had to build a brand new full size hangar because they use to operate out of those tarped ones.
