Gregory "Pappy" Boyington?

It gotta be US Marines Corsair

pic properties says "VF-214" but that's obviously a typo. I'd say VMF-214 .... making it a Blacksheep bird. Maybe Boyington's.

The same one that has been avoiding single combat all week.

I'm gonna say Chris Magee. It could also be Lindburgh, he flew with 214.

I cant find the bloody web site again but all it said was VMF-214.

Yeah, it said 214, but it didnt say who was flying it.

Answer:

Zoom in and compare profile with known VMF-214 fliers....

Okay, now for all you VMF-214 Hog fans, here's a chance to own your own F4U-1A...

That would be John Larouquette (sp?) while filming Black Sheep with Robert Conrad...

Or you could go to my buddy Bob's websight and buy a real F4U, or Zero.

He recently sold a Yak3 and a B-25J.

Vietnam Corsair? Kinda weird, but you mean A-7 Corsair II or just plain F4U Corsair before they retired in 1960s?
