F8F-2P Bearcat 121710 AirGrp19 - Contact Sheet
I was stationed at Quonset Point, RI, as an AT in the early 50s. An
executive from Grumman flew a red leather interior Bearcat. There was a takeoff contest held between a Bearcat and (as I remember) a Lockheed Shooting Star. Before the jet left the ground the F8F had taken off and reached altitude. I worked on the F8F as well as the F6F. They were sweet A/C. I also worked on and flew as an Aircrewman in The AF and the S-2. Had more than 125 arrested landings. Grumman made some grat A/C.

F8F-2P Bearcat 121710 AirGrp19 - Contact Sheet
Thanks for that. The Bearcat is certainly a beautiful piece of kit although
I've only ever seen one fly once at Duxford. This and the SPAD are my two favourite USN/USMC aeroplanes and I've never seen a Skyraider actually in the air. Next summer I hope.....
