Known as the most outstanding carrier-based fighter to be used operationally in WWII, the Corsair has become legendary. Known to the Japanese as `Whistling Death`, the Corsair was famous for its bent gull-wings and its high kill ratios. The Corsair was the first U.S. single-engined fighter to exceed 400 m.p.h., and had much better performance than the F4F Wildcat, which was the current top-of-the-line Navy fighter when the Corsair was introduced.

Allow LTTE planes to move south or north to attack
stage these planes in blocking positions with jet chasers
the blocking position is to take out the enemy planes seek and destroy their hideouts
remember....shoulder fired missiles need to see the heat trail of the plane---AKA the backside....
so LTTE will try to fire on the plane that is leaving
10 of these should be enough to face the enemy
these planes could be staged from rough ground all over the northern heartland |
