History

F2G Super Corsair Racing History

Race 57 LLC is the owner and operator of this beautifully restored, rare Goodyear F2G-1D "Super" Corsair (BuNo 88458), which is available for airshows, flybys, film. The "Super" Corsair is also a regular at the Reno National Championship Air Races and AirVenture inOshkosh,WI.

The Goodyear F2G "Super" Corsair was a development by the Goodyear Aircraft Company of the FG-1/F4U-1 Corsair design as a special low-altitude version of a fighter.

Over time, the plane, registered as NX5588N, went from owner to owner and slowly deteriorated. In 1995, Bob Odegaard found this airplane and quickly made arrangements to purchase it and brought it up to his shop, Odegaard Aviation in Kindred, ND. There they restored it back to airworthy condition, in its original racing colors, and flew it again in 1999, 50 years since it last flew. The aircraft was a winner at the 1999 Rolls-Royce Aviation Heritage International, is a regular unlimited racer at the Reno National Championship Air Races and was also featured in the movie Thunder Over Reno.
