R Palimaka Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) Some sad news. Just saw that the Corsair from the Vintage Wings of Canada in Gatineau, Quebec suffered some damage in an emergency landing. The pilot is ok, was taken to hospital as a precaution. The photos in the article are not that great, but the wings look like they've sustained some serious damage. I'm sure they will rebuild, but it may be a while.

J.C. Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Very happy to hear that the pilot will be okay. He is a very highly regarded former RCAF pilot. Sad to hear about and see the damage incurred by the Corsair.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most assuredly, this Corsair will be flying again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
