WW2 Corsair Flies Again After Years On The Ground

New Zealand warbird enthusiasts will be delighted to learn that the Goodyear-built FG-1D Corsair NZ5648 previously operated by The Old Stick And Rudder Company has apparently been purchased by a Kiwi who intends to continue to base the historic ex-RNZAF aircraft in this country.

The aircraft has today flown from Hood Aerodrome in Masterton to Omaka Aerodrome near Blenheim where it is now under the care of JEM Aviation, and HAFU understands that over the next few weeks it will be going thorough a schedule of maintenance to ensure it's ready for the upcoming New Zealand airshow display season.


The aircraft has not been seen in the air for a number of years and Kiwi fans of the aircraft feared it may never see the wind beneath its wings again. It appears that Auckland businessman Mike Jones has purchased the aircraft, and that he has every intention of keeping the aircraft flying in New Zealand.
