Powered by a 4,000 h.p. Pratt & Whitney R-4360 28-cylinder radial, the Budweiser Light Vought-Goodyear F2G Corsair bears little resemblance to any other Corsair. With cut down wings and cockpit streamlining, owners Steve Hinton and Jim Maloney, both directors of the California-based Planes of Fame Museum based at Chino Air­port, hope to make an attempt on the time-to-climb record for piston aircraft currently held by an F8F Bearcat. In addition, the aircraft is scheduled to compete in this year's top air racing events.
