I finally got the chance to check out the Corsair reproduction that hangs in the airport terminal building here on Amelia Island. The terminal was completed late in 2018 and represents a significant upgrade to the facilities that it replaced. Well done to all involved!

The Corsair was flown by the US Navy and Marines in the Pacific theater of operations during the latter stages of WWII and enjoyed a reputation that was second to none.

The Corsair was powered by a super powerful Pratt & Whitney engine.


The main lobby before the addition of the Corsair.

The terminal building is designed to evoke a WWII F4U Corsair fighter-bomber.
Thanks for stopping by and if you find yourself anywhere near northeast Florida make time to stop and visit our unique airport terminal.
