Air-to-air view of a Goodyear FG-1D Corsair warbird flying in formation with two U.S. Navy Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornets of VFA-106 during Sun N Fun 2024 in Florida. The Corsair is powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp 18-cylinder radial engine driving a three-blade propeller, while the Super Hornets use twin General Electric F414-GE-400 afterburning turbofan engines. Vapor trails form behind the jets as the aircraft maintain close spacing, highlighting contrasts between a World War II piston fighter and modern carrier-based multirole strike fighters.
