[@olivarto]

It seems like the film/biography about Howard Hughes has caused so much love with planes
goosh! I just adore a sound of a beauty:)

There was another mustang with counter rotating props called the red baron and it won 1977 and 1978 before crashing in 1979.

What make & model was the twin engine plane with the folding wings?

[@rampking1]

I still cannot believe a stock looking
F8F Bearcat qual. for the Gold Race in 2008 and did well over 400 MPH !
Tiger and Strega were the big news though...
I missed but two races since 1967.

It's a Grumman F7F Tigercat. It came out late in WWII.

Those Sea Furies are pretty...but I miss the look of the five bladed Rotol prop. Miss the sound of the Centaurus radials too.

[@vendetta81]

considering how long some of these mustangs have been racing tremper had it not been for racing these planes would have been turned into razor blades a long time ago
