This weekend I got to do something amazing -- join fellow aviation enthusiasts and aviation archaeologist, Craig Fuller on a hike documenting the wreckage of two downed Corsairs in Mt. Tam.
"On October 4th, 1945 US Navy F4U-1D Bu# 50391 and FG-1A Bu# 13858 of VF-82 out of Alameda NAS collided at 10,000 ft over the Rock Spring area of Mt Tamalpias, while practicing the “Thatch Weave.” Both pilots, Ensign Vincent Daley and Lt. (jg) Charles W. Ankerberg, bailed out successfully, although Daley was bad injured." - Craig Fuller
