Shrapnel hit his Corsair on mission over Tokyo – 2nd Lt. Jack LeBoeuf thought ‘it was the end’ - War Tales | It was Feb. 22, 1945; 2nd Lt. Jack LeBoeuf was flying his Corsair fighter from the deck of the carrier USS Essex as a member of Marine Fighter Squadron 213. Destination, Tokyo! “We were sent on the Tokyo mission to protect our TBMs torpedo bombers (Douglas TBM Devastators),” the 83-year-old Port Charlotte Marine recalled. “The TBMs were flying low and we were flying above them to make sure nobody bothered them as they hit their targets in Tokyo.” It was a thankless 
mission because the TBMs flew low and slow when they attacked. They were sitting ducks for the anti-aircraft fire and enemy fighter planes. As a consequence...

WARPLANES: Why Pilots Prefer The F-35 - Strategy Page | July 10, 2013: American fighter pilots (air force, navy and marine) are largely in agreement that, while the F-22 is a superior air-to-air fighter, the new F-35 is a better, if still flawed, all-round combat aircraft. A lot of this has to do with technology. The F-35 is a more recent aircraft, entering service a dozen years later than the F-22. Fighter pilots, who tend to be keen connoisseurs of aviation technology (many being university trained in aviation tech) note that the F-35 is actually using a new generation of tech as much of the F-22 stuff dates back to the 1980s and 1990s. This accounts for some of the tech updates the F-22 has received since it entered service in 2005. But the basic design and composition of the F-35 is a generation ahead of the F-22. As a result the F-35 is cheaper, more effective (in terms of tech), easier to maintain and designed as a fighter-bomber...

Paquin was one of many pilots who flew into Sanderson’s Field on Post Road for the 22nd annual Yankee Ultralight Flyers Fly-In Camp-In event....
