Classic Aero-TV: Korean War Hero Twice Reborn

From 2023 (YouTube Edition): The Life, Death, Life, Death, and Life of a Glorious Warbird In 1981, business-owner Jim Tobul and his father purchased a Chance-Vought F4U Corsair. More accurately, the two men purchased three truckloads of parts that, over the following decade, they fashioned into a flying warbird. That Jim Tobul is an FAA certified AMP/IA and pilot was critical to the endeavor, but not so critical as the father-and-son team’s passion for aviation, the Corsair, and the history embodied in the aircraft to which they dedicated vast tracts of their lives. The machine the Tobuls built—and upon which they bestowed the apt nom de guerre, Korean War Hero—is Chance Vought F4U-4 Corsair serial number Bu#97143, registration number N713JT.
