Re: Vought F4U Corsair - top ten ace list
Good evening Leonard and George,

thanks for your posts.
Scoring from 14Feb1943 until 17Jul1969: a period of 26 years, five months and three days. Certainly a record for piston-engined planes.
I'll search a jet that supersedes this and report to you if I find anything.
(Ultra-narrow for the F/A-18: 17Jan1991-18Jun2017, 26 years, five months and one day).

I wish you a fine weekend. Mine will be one day longer because my host country Switzerland has its national day.

Cheers,

Michael
