"The Ohioan" is to become the second mount to Brazilian-American Joey Paulo. In an effort to find a plane with better range to reach Florida (where his business partner resides at), he invests in a Goodyear built Corsair, a 1945 FG-1D that had been recently restored and put up for sale. Being built right in Akron, and wanting something to reflect his home state, Joey purchases the plane and christens it "The Ohioan".

The FG-1 Corsair was a licensed derivative of the Chance-Vought F4U family, being manufactured by Goodyear at its Akron, Ohio factory from 1943 until the end of the war in 1945. The FG-1D was virtually identical to the Vought built F4U-1D, which differed from the earlier F4U-1A by the deletion of two metal frames on the canopy, somewhat beefed up structure to enable it to carry heavier loads as a fighter-bomber in the Pacific theater, and the ability to carry rocket armament. In fact, Goodyear built more FG-1D's than its Vought counterpart, with almost 2,000 manufactured. Many D models served in the Navy reserves as the newer F4U-4's and F4U-5's replaced it in front line service. The last D models were retired from service by 1952. Some found their way to Central and South America, but many sadly met the scrapman's torch. Those that did survive sat derelict until bought up in the 1970's and restored as part of the fledgling warbird movement, where many today still fly.
