Yanks Air Museum's and Rod Lewis' Hellcats have been painted in the same livery. This is because they are both indentified as Bureau number 40467. Rod Lewis' Hellcat was originally built as F6F-5 80141, but it adopted the identity of 40467 when it was restored using parts from that aircraft in the 1980s. As a result, Yanks Air Museum's Hellcat (the aircraft that I regard as 40467) is identified by the FAA as 08831 (did Yanks Air Museum use any parts from that aircraft?) because of this identity clash.
Which aircraft do the rest of you think is which? There are other examples of this instance that I will add to this discussion soon.
