.. I'm not sure what it is .. an F-7f maybe ? can anyone Identify?

That is a Grumman F6F Hellcat, designation F6F. The Navy didn't
have dashes in their designations until Fighting Bob added them
in 1962. The distinctive feature to identify the aircraft is
the oval shape to the cowling. While the Hellcat was produced
in large numbers for WWII, only a handful remain in flying
condition.

Correct, no P-38 flew Saturday. I was there prior to gates open and after
gates closed.

Yes There were two P-38's there. One was Glacier Girl, and it was on
'static' Display, only flew in and out .. the other was Porky II From
Chino California's 'Planes of Fame' And I believe, it flew every day,
and was in formation with the F-15 and P-51.

Ah, I never saw a second P-38 on Saturday, and I'm 99% sure no P-38
flew that day. The Heritage Flight on Saturday was F-15 and three
P-51s.
