The Corsair Team in Attendance in front of the mighty VS-44A.
Hey everyone, I just wanted to take a second to send a hearty thank you to Chuck Drake and EAA Chapter 1310 for allowing us to come up and talk about the Corsair Restoration. In fact we reach out our hand in thanks to all the members of the EAA who talked with us afterwards and shared some great ideas. Chuck presented us with a $100 donation from the EAA Chapter 1310 in addition to what was tossed in the jug.
In addition to Corsair talk I would like to thank Bill Kulle for sharing his PT-17 Stearman with us as well as his family of J-3's. I am going to work with Bill to see if he can bring the Stearman down to the Airshow and hang out with the CASC display. The trip to New England Air Museum was a blast and I am glad we could share it together as a team.
Thanks to everyone who came out to support the event!

I would like to personally thank you and everyone from the Connecticut Air and Space Center for your most excellent presentation at our our meeting. Many of our members were very impressed with the progress your motivated volunteers have made restoring a symbol to all of those who worked and fought to preserve our freedom. It is safe to say the the spirit of that past aviation workforce is alive and well in Stratford.
There are many aspects in the aviation, However, We all have the same core passion. I hope in the future, the Connecticut Air and Space Museum and EAA chapter 1310 can help encourage and promote a alliances among other aviation organizations for the betterment of all aviation. During the EAA Connecticut and Rhode Island Chapter leaders meetings I would like to promote and involve your organization in any way possible.
Please advise me in any way I can be of assistance during your Airshow or any other need you may have.
Blue Skies and Thank you so very much!
