Artist's Comments
The Super Corsair was built to fight the Japanese Kamikaze attacks. The Navy needed a fighter that could climb fast and intercept the fighters before they started their dive. The Goodyear Aircraft Company built ten F2G's but none were ever used in combat. After the war, several people bought some corsairs for around $1500 a piece. They were used in the Cleveland Air races in the late forties. This particular aircraft won the Tinnerman Trophy in 1949; it was the last time it flew. In 1995, Bob Odegaard found this airplane and quickly made arrangements for it and brought it up to his shop, Odegaard Aviation in Kindred, ND. There he restored it back to its original racing colors and flew it again in 1999, 50 years since it last flew.
