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.

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

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... :wink:
