Where is the "Blue Angel" Bearcat now?

[Warbirdnerd]

I know someone mentioned on here where the ex Walrtrip Bearcat is now but can't find the thread.
Just thinking about summer and how nice it would be to see it out and about this year at one of Naval Centenial events I am hoping to attend this summer.
Anyone have the scoop on this bird?
TIA.

Purchased by John O'Connor, correct? It's slated to be at TOM this summer.

And following Thunder Over Michigan it is scheduled to be at EAA AirVenture. Looking forward to seeing the "Blue Angels" Bearcat this summer!

You'll get to see it bend the sticks around Reno this September too

It will be good to see her back in the air! She's missed already!

There are rumors of it appearing with the Blue Angels at a couple of upcoming Navy Centennial Airshows. Details still in the works ....

You need to be 6''5" to get up in it and 5' to fly it. It has a different feel when you sit in it, but you know you will have fun flying it...

Humm - hope that whoever is bringing her to Reno remembers that Wendover (kenv) gives warbird discounts on fuel!!

Gotcha. Has he raced before? The name didn't sound familiar.

Not to my knowledge, but I'm pretty dumb
