For most air racing fans, seeing the famous F2G racing corsair is a familiar
site. The sponsor markings on the famous Corsair race plane are that of Goodyear and
Sohio. Goodyear is well known for its tires and Sohio for its
fuel. In reality, Goodyear was the not only the chief sponsor, but the manufacturer. Our company is located in Findlay Ohio and here in Findlay, Ohio
where Marathon Oil's headquarters is located as well as Cooper Tire Company.
Our concept is simple, NuLANtek would like to develop a concept aircraft
where Marathon and Cooper Tire are the chief sponsors. The only
question remaining for this concept project is to which Corsair model should be
used? Being considered are the F4U-1a, F4U-5 or one of the several F2G
variations.
