Forty-eight volunteers at the Selfridge Military Air Museum came together to restore this FG-1D Corsair back to its glory days.
It took 35,000 man-hours and a decade of effort to overcome the challenges this project presented, but seeing it today, all agree it was worth it.

Pure hell in Vasylkivka, Dnipropetrovsk region.
russians dropped 12 KAB glide bombs on a market. A fucking market.
A Saturday morning — people just coming out to sell what they have.
Just a regular, everyday market… gone in an instant.
This is Olha, she was 22-year-old. Russia killed her yesterday in overnight attack on Chuhuiv, Kharkiv region 🕯💔
She was seven months pregnant. Olha’s husband is currently serving in the Armed Forces, defending Ukraine.
Olha worked as a psychologist at "Shans" (Chance), a local comprehensive rehabilitation center for people with disabilities, where she dedicated herself to helping children.
This is Iryna, she was only 18.
Yesterday, she passed away after a week-long battle for her life, succumbing to severe injuries sustained during the russian attack on Kyiv on June 2nd🕯
Iryna was a sophomore, studying psychology at Mykhailo Drahomanov Ukrainian State University.
Russia killed her for being Ukrainian.
Russian attack on the center of Zaporizhzhia.
Two people killed. At least 23 more injured, including six kids aged 5 through 17.
Russian drones damaged residential buildings and vehicles and destroyed market stalls.
That lady's cries are heartbreaking. Russia caused them.
Russian strike on an ambulance in Kherson today.
Russia is systematically tearing Kherson apart, committing one war crime after another. The city is in a desperate, critical situation‼️‼️
This is not a movie about meteor showers before the apocalypse; this is Russia bombing Kyiv last night. A city with several million people in it - children, the elderly, and normal families just like yours.
