Goodyear F2G-1 "Super Corsair", BuNo 88458, N5588N

Only two "Super Corsairs" still remain, after the others crashed, this aircraft is the only one of them in flying condition.

The F2G was intended as a low-altitude interceptor and was equipped with a 28-cylinder, four-row Pratt & Whitney R-4360 air-cooled radial engine.

Pratt & Whitney R-4360 "Wasp Major", 3000HP. The R-4360 was the most powerful reciprocating engine ever installed in a single engine airplane. The rate of climb of the F2G was 7,000 feet per minute, twice the rate of climb of the standard Corsair and higher than the jet fighters of the time.

N5588N raced in the Unlimited class at the Reno Air Races from 2006 to 2008
