PRIVATE Chance Vought F4U-4 Corsair · N713JT

About This Photo

The primary subject is a vintage dark blue U.S. Navy aircraft parked on a tarmac, identified as part of the VF-884 squadron from the USS Boxer, with the side number 416 visible on the engine cowling. Its large vertical tail features a white star insignia with red and white stripes, and the tail code letters "JT" are clearly seen on the rear fuselage. The aircraft's wings are folded upright, a typical feature for carrier-based planes designed to save space. The aircraft is stationary, with its propeller stopped and gear firmly on the ground. Secondary subjects include additional similar vintage Navy aircraft, also painted in dark blue with stars on their tails, parked closely nearby on the airfield. Several people are walking around the planes, indicating this may be an airshow or static display. The setting is an outdoor runway or taxiway of an airport with the sky mostly clear and partly cloudy under bright daylight. The concrete ground shows painted markings and lines. The visibility of the squadron markings, white stars with red stripes, wheel chocks, propeller blades, and shadows from the sunlight are notable visual identifiers.
