I have lost track. Who purchased the Lone Star Wildcat and the Florida based one that had a rear seating compartment? Any others changed hands recently? How close is the Museum of Flight's to being finished?

The former LSFM based aircraft is now with Greg Shelton in Oklahoma.

Had a chance to see him perform at Thunder this past year. He can fly that Cat.

I'd love to see a Pacific Battle in the Bean Field with a couple of Wildcats buzzin' the field.

The former Dick Foote Wildcat with the seating compartment looks like it is back home at Kissimmee after getting a new engine.

The Wildcat in Kissimmee is flown by it's new owner at least once a week. It is based at Stallion 51.

We'll come play in the Pacific Battle!

We had a Wildcat on the field at last year's Indy airshow. It was in Atlantic colors, but I forget whose it was, now. It was a great example, though.

The Wildcat at Indy was Tim Gillian's. The Atlantic scheme you are thinking of was the TBM my dad flew in the show. That airplane is owned by Dave Tinker.

Thanks, Trey. That clears it up.

That TBM was a good-looking one! Great to see both those planes fly.
