1945 Goodyear FG-1D CorsairSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1945 Goodyear FG-1D Corsair (N194G) represents a meticulously restored WWII-era warbird with only 80 hours since its comprehensive eight-year restoration. The airframe shows 1,835 total hours, while its Pratt & Whitney R-2800 CB-3 radial engine has 80 hours since major overhaul by Anderson Airmotive in 2015. The restoration was completed in 2021 by Tab-Air with specialist support, including complete fuselage stripping, zinc chromate interior refinishing, new Stits Polyfiber fabric on flight controls, rewired electrical systems, and overhauled hydraulics. The aircraft features an authentic Navy Glenview livery in gloss blue with orange tail band and period-correct black instrument panel.

The Corsair is equipped with modern avionics including a Garmin GTN-650 GPS/NAV/COMM and GTX-345 transponder, complemented by a King KCS-55A slaved HSI. Operational enhancements include a pre-oil system, nitrogen gear blow-down system, and later-style brakes. The propeller has 80 hours since overhaul with AD 81-13-06 compliance due February 2025. Documentation includes detailed historical logs tracing its U.S. Navy service through multiple squadrons from 1945-1954 before civilian ownership. Currently located in Waukegan, IL, this airworthy museum-quality restoration includes fresh condition inspection and operational wing fold capability.
