You must excuse this little joke, but these are two of my three life's passion: my son, and the warbirds (the third one is a secret, but she knows). The photos was taken during the last air show in my town (Pescara, Italy) where I had the occasion to see the Change Vought Corsair together with a Spit and a P51-D Mustang. One thing that caught my attention was thinking how huge was the Corsair and how graceful was to see it fly. So I want to share with you this mini walkaround. Also this was done under the rain, I got wet but that "blu guy" had worth the shower.
