Not sure if I am remembering correctly or it was a dream, but, wasn't Darryl Greenamyer supposed to get a Rex when he donated his Bearcat to the Smithsonian? I seem to remember that it involved the Rex and an XF8F Bearcat. Again, might be remembering totally wrong. Anyone?
No, he got a Grumman Goose that was used in testing various hull designs. I cannot remember offhand where this wound up, but has found a good home.
Greenamyer also traded a Lockheed 1049F Super Constellation for two Grumman HU-16 Albatross amphibians. Guess he liked getting seaplanes from the Smithsonian...
The seaplane that Greenamyer got, along with the XF8F Bearcat (since destroyed in a crash), was the Widgeon known as the "Petulant Porpoise", for a picture see
