WARBIRDS VOUGHT F4U-4 CORSAIR
A modest and highly likeable man from Wyoming, Jim Tobul was introduced to flying when he was a child by his dad, Joe. “My father sparked my interest in aviation from a young age – in fact I was flying the family Stinson 108 when I was nine years old, with my cub scout sweatshirt on!” Jim told FlyPast at the recent Sun ‘n Fun Expo in Florida.
