Visited Falcon Field in Mesa, AZ today. It was a beautiful day as you can see from the clear blue sky. There is a hanger full of vintage restored aircraft. There is another hanger where they are actually working on aircraft restoring them and then just outside there were people taking planes out to show off or fly. We happened to be very lucky to be there when the only two remaining operational F2G Corsairs were there. The two that were there were two of only fifteen that were ever made. This is a link to site with some history on the planes. There are some nice photos of the 2 planes I saw. One is blue and one is red. The docent told us they were worth 8-10 million dollars each. One owner keeps one there during the winter and the other one is kept at another nearby airport. You can kind of see them in the background of this photo. This site has some cool history on the blue plane and its restoration.
There was also this little peddle plane that kids could truck around in. This little boy was taking it for a spin. It was something I saw today.
