This iconic World War II fighter is one of less than 20 left flying in the world. Nothing says Warbird quite like the bent wing. The Corsair was made famous in the Pacific Theatre by the Black Sheep Squadron, The Jolly Rogers, The Checkerboards and even flown by Charles Lindbergh.

The CAF’s FG-1D “530” is one of the original airframes that launched the Commemorative Air Force. This airplane is not only historically significant, but it is thoroughly ingrained in the CAF’s heritage and has been one of the busiest aircraft in the history of the CAF’s stable.

The Dixie Wing Corsair served from May 19, 1950 until January 2, 1952 at Naval Air Reserve Station Atlanta (now Peachtree-Dekalb Airport) training pilots for the Korean Conflict.

The Corsair served almost exclusively as a fighter-bomber throughout the Korean War and during the French colonial wars in Indochina and Algeria.
