History
This Corsair project was acquired in March 1995 and moved to Chino, California. A complete ground up restoration was completed over a five year time period. A great amount of time was taken to insure a very detailed and original restoration. The ailerons were built from blue prints, and a pre-oiler was installed for the long term operation of the plane. Original instruments and hydraulic systems overhauled. Marine's Dream's first flight occurred on 26 May 2000.
