Dillon Smith dusts the inside of the canopy of the Vought F4U Corsair, the famed World War II fighter, at Vought’s Grand Prairie facility.

The four-bladed prop identifies this as a post-war Corsair. I'd want to say it's an F4U-4, but I don't see the distinctive scoop on the underside of the cowling. It's certainly marked as an F4U-4 from the Korean War era, with post-war national insignia (red stripe in the Stars and Bars) and big white MARINES fuselage identifiers (the Japanese kill markings might be appropriate, since there were WWII aces, Marine and otherwise, the few back into combat during Korea).

My overall guess, tho, is that this is a Frankensair. Bash-together of lots of different bits and pieces not only from different Corsairs (as the article mentions), but also from different Corwair sub-types.

These are lovely planes to watch, but tricky to land and takeoff because as a pilot you sit so far back.

They are impressive planes that look like they mean business.

Saw an outstanding pilot fly one of these at the EAA Airventure in Oshkosh a few years back.
