ON THE COVER:
Greg Morehead has perfectly captured the classic lines of the Cavanaugh Flight Museum’s freshly refinished Goodyear FG-1D Corsair. The plane was being flown by Mark Todd for the photos. The museum is planning to put more of their aircraft on the airshow circuit in the near future and we will be having further details when they become available.
