Default RE: Pics of Pappy Boyington's Corsair?

Just an intersting note I thought y'all would like to know. VMA-214 is still an active Squadron at marine Corps Air Station Yuma. After transitioning from corsairs they flew the A-4 Skyhawk and now the venerable AV8-BD Harrier two. there was a flyby for one of his aniversaries and they buzzed the field with a Corsair and an A1H Skyraider. I am not sure if they ever flew the skyraider or not but it was a definate impressive and powerful loud aircraft. I was stationed with their sister Squadron VMA-513 from 1988 to 1993.
