    A dark navy blue WWII-era Vought F4U Corsair fighter aircraft with the number '520' and a white star insignia is taxiing on a concrete airfield tarmac. The aircraft features distinctive black-and-white checkered markings on the engine cowling and tail, consistent with a restored warbird in U.S. Navy livery. The setting appears to be a modern airfield, likely during an airshow or commemorative event.

    An F4U Corsair, piloted by Chris Avery, sits on the runway during the 2014 MCAS Cherry Point “Inspiration to Innovation” Air Show May 17. Avery is now an airline pilot who occasionally performs aerobatic air shows in a F4U Corsair, an aircraft used during World War II. It was the last aircraft to use three-bladed propeller technology.
