The Vought F4U Corsair is an American fighter aircraft that saw service primarily in World War II and the Korean War. Having been designed for aircraft carrier operations, the plane features distinctive folding wings, a high intercept speed, and also a low-stall speed to assist with landing on the short deck of a carrier. The Flying Bulls' plane was delivered to the US Navy in 1945, from Chance Vought’s factory in Stratford, Connecticut. A few years later, it was sold to the Honduran Air Force, which operated a fleet of Corsairs until 1979, though this particular plane returned to the US in 1965 when it became part of a private collection. The Flying Bulls acquired the plane in 1990.
