    I think that F7F Tigercat is very, very beautiful plane. It is so beautiful that it is hard to believe that it is a work of Grumman at that time, which was characterized by its ruggedness. Besides the performance is excellent, too.
    We were really lucky as Japanese not to have to fight with it (and F8F Bearcat).

      is sally b still actively flying? the ONLY B17 flying fortress still flying in the UK (only one flying in the entire European region).
      sorry if we bought your only tigercat..... hopefully whoever bought it is taking good care of it.
      i was downright angry when the koreans took our lockheed constellation, AKA mats connie. i saw that aircraft at an airshow years ago. so incredibly majestic, the sound of 4 R3350's is unparalleled.
      i do also have an appreciation for the merlin, doesnt matter if they it's a merlin powered mustang, spitfire, or avro Lancaster (i have an appreciation for the lancaster). can you tell the difference between a packard built merlin and a merlin built by rolls royce, or do they sound exactly the same?
      btw i have a couple WW2 rifles..... one of them is a lee enfeild MK1 NO4

    Stew Dawson’s performances with the F7F are about on par with Lefty Gardner’ s meistro “White Lightnin,” demonstrations. All of the grace and agility, but while the twin 2800’s sound is powerful, the Lightning’s collected Allison moan was awe inspiring with Gardner’s shows.

The late P-51H was basically a different airplane and had incredible climb, though, even better than the Bearcat. However, the Mustang would run out of water injection after 7 minutes then the Tigercat could certainly kill it then if it hadn't killed it already.
