Hmmm, that's interesting.

This Corsair was once a regular flying around this area, and at KGPI 
(Glacier Park airport).  It was then sold to someone (presumably the guy 
in Driggs, ID). I believe it may have also been at the Stonehenge Air 
Museum in Fortine, MT, I recall hearing about it there.

Tim Seelye (who died very recently) was a member of the Glacier RCers 
model club, and he told me the story of how he got a ride in the 
Corsair.  He said it was the most uncomfortable airplane ride he's ever 
had, but well worth it.  Apparently, someone had just built in a small 
jump seat immediately behind the pilot with very little padding.  You 
couldn't see very much, and it was incredibly loud.

Tim took some video and posted it on youtube
