All of them I hope, otherwise it would be good to see the old TFC and Plane Sailing Cats again...

I think there is potential for four:
Joe Clarks (former TFC)
John Sessions
Rod Lewis's
& erm.. I'm forgetting one.. Dick Bertea? (former PS)

The Palm Springs one isn't allowed out to play..

Does Rod Lewis have the former AirZoo one or Mike Browns?

Both, and both were at Chino this year.

The ex-Bertea, ex-Plane Sailing Tigercat is the one now with John Sessions.

Is the Daryl Greenamyer one airworthy yet? http://www.airspacemag.com/history-of-f ... c=y&page=1

Don't think so...



ok, now I'm all genned up on the other 2 we parked next to

Going to have a look at JC's on Monday as it has an oil shut off valve that er, doesn't........ & it needs 2 hyd fittings replaced & 2 new hyd lines.

Not very up-to-date, but a good guide to the situation a few years back. Almost all the flyers have changed hands in the past 3 years or so, interestingly.

NX909TC was flown at the Camarillo Air Show both days last weekend by Clay Lacy. Not sure who the owner is.

Earlier this year, I saw the first Tigercat aerobatics at Chino with Steve Hinton at the controls. Beautiful aerobatics! A great airplane, and a great pilot.

Mike,

Thanks for the link. Based on this link, we can assume there are 12 known airframes in existance.

That is not many left to see in museums or flying.

Thanks

Joe's is almost ready to go. Just need to sort the brakes, mess with the Hyd regulator a bit & safety a couple of things.
Replaced the duff oil shut off valve this week & changed some Hyd fittings. It was run up this morning & fluids topped off.

Here is some video I shot of the routine that Hinton did this year. http://www.vimeo.com/5967015

*note* if you download the video it will play much smoother than on Vimeo's flash player.
