Auto Credit Based on WWIIPlaneBuilder's US NAVY F4u w/fold up wings (WIP)

Many people think that this plane had it's reign ended in WWII, but infact it had a life after that war in the korean part of the cold war... While many countries decided to move onto jet power, these planes were saved as america needed them to launch from their carriers... It was the perfect plane for the job and performed it extreemly well... The only problem was, was america and the allies decided to push most of the planes off their carriers and get rid of them for other, more advanced planes... But decided to use the little they hadnt destoryed to take on Korea... This aircraft does have fold up wings (Act 2) and requires an air spawn as it cannot take off quite yet. You also need to put the landing gear up to fly... Theyr are only there for when the wings fold up... Enjoy flying... WWIIPlaneBuilding
