Oshkosh 2022 | Vought F4U Corsair

8/05/2022 Oshkosh 2022 | Vought F4U Corsair

Oshkosh 2022 | Vought F4U Corsair  The F4U Corsair looks quite distinctive with its gull wings.  It also makes a distinctive sound caused by noise from the engine and wing-root air inlets, which earned it the nick-name “Whistling Death”  The “bent wings” allowed deck clearance of its large 13′ 4″ propeller.  And, the large prop allowed for a R-2800 Double Wasp, 18 cylinder double radial 2250 horsepower engine.  It could out fight, out climb, and out run any prop driven enemy aircraft at the time.   Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.

8/02/2022 Oshkosh 2022 | American Flag Zooming

Oshkosh 2022 | American Flag Zooming   American look alike flags flown with non-standard colors are somewhat controversial and of course, not official. The black and white flag has one blue stripe on one side and one red stripe on the other side.  The Blue Line represents the police officer and the courage they find deep inside when faced with insurmountable odds.  The Black background was designed as a constant reminder of our fallen brother and sister officers. The Red Line is a symbol used by fire departments to show respect for firefighters injured and killed in the line of duty.   Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
