It's not as easy as it might look... The Corsair cockpit sits nearly 10 feet off the ground, so handholds and steps are built into the fuselage to make getting in easy... well easier. Back in the day, pilots didn’t treat their planes like the priceless artifacts they are today! Climbing onto the wing with boots on was a common sight. That's something we definitely wouldn’t dare now. #Corsair #FHCAM #WWIIHistory #WWII #Warbirds #NavalAviation | Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum

This Chance-Vought F4U-5NL Corsair is more than a warbird — it carries verified history. Its original History Card survived, proving that #124541 flew combat missions over Korea with the legendary VMF-513 “Flying Nightmares”. At Hahnweide Airshow 2025, “Devotion” delivers a display that feels like stepping back in time — the power, the sound, the legacy. 👉 What’s your favorite Warbird ? #Corsair #F4U #Warbird #AviationHistory #HahnweideAirshow #KoreaWar | Warbirds
