Bent Wing Serenade

[paintboy]

I know, I know...........I promised these a long time ago, but I am just catching up from several shoots and I hate to edit. Doug Matthews asked me to shoot his beautiful Corsair at Oshkosh, and how could I say no. Evenings are the best time to shoot in the midwest, the sun is so golden. I have to thank Doug for his generous offer to photograph his Corsair, and his willingness to find a friend to join in on the fun. Enjoy the photos!

Dude, your lens owns the sky. Right up there with Bowen, Munson, and Fizer. Thanks a ton for sharing.

Re: Bent Wing Serenade

Sigh* I remember when Corsairs seemed so common at the Reno races in the 80's.

Now I get goosebumps if I get to see even ONE there...

Lots of not-so-subtle differences between the two models also.

I believe ones a -5 and the other is a -4 (-5 with the twin cheek inlets and the -4 with the inlet on the bottom).

Re: Bent Wing Serenade

Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding.................................we have a winner. Jason hit it right onthe head. One is a -4 and the other a -5. Amazing how the differences show up from model to model. Thank you all for the kind words. Always a pleasure to provide photos for the masses.
