The 11 participating Corsairs included:
CAF Dixie Wing FG-1D
Mid America Flight Museum FG-1D
Military Aviation Museum FG-1D
Louis Horschel FG-1D
Ron Lauder (Ellenville) FG-1D
Wings of the North F4U-4

Unfortunately two of the Corsairs which were planned to participate were significantly damaged in separate accidents in recent months - the John O'Connor F4U-7 was damaged in a takeoff accident back in May, and the Vintage Wings of Canada FG-1D was damaged in an emergency landing accident just last month.
At this time, there are 28 Corsairs flying world-wide:
Austria: 1 (OE-EAS)
France: 1 (F-AZEG)
Germany: 1 (D-FCOR)
United Kingdom: 1 (G-FGID)
United States: 24 (N83782, N700G, N773RD, N11Y, N83JC, N46RL, N72NW, N29VF, N43FG, N209TW, N451FG, N9964Z, N4TF, N240CF, N72378, N713JT, N45NL, N43RW, N179PT, N494M, N1337A, N5588N, N4901W, N4634)
**VH-III, in Australia, may be flying again within weeks, and ZK-COR, in New Zealand, is currently chained down due to a legal issue.**

That is flat out cool...I can just hear Pappy now from the old TV show: "Tighten it up, you meatheads..."
