The Cavanaugh Flight Museum’s F4U Corsair will be appearing at HBW 2015 offering BOTH air-rides and ground tours! This is a chance of a lifetime to book a flight experience in the only FAA approved ride Corsair in this country! The Corsair is a FG-1D model configured as a F4U-1C with an armament of 20 mm cannons. The famous gull-wing design of the F4U Corsair makes the plane one of the most distinctive fighters of World War II. Designed and built by Chance-Vought, the Corsair prototype first flew on May 29, 1940. It was the world's first single-engine fighter capable of speeds over 400 mph in level flight. Though first rejected by the U.S Navy, the F4U proved to be one of the best all-around fighters of World War II and was the only American piston engine World War II fighter produced in large numbers after 1945. A pre-purchase link for air-rides will be posted as soon as it is available here and on the website, please stay tuned. We hope you are as excited as the people at HBW to see the Corsair addition!
Feel the acceleration of over two thousand horsepower as the Corsair roars down the runway for takeoff.

So how’s old Madison, Wisconsin?
Is that Paul Soglin still the mayor?
And is Rennebohm’s expanding?
Is the Club de Wash still there?
