First discovered the F8F back in 82 when i was 15. Bought a book called Flying Ghosts. Story of the CAF, particular interest being the 2 Bearcats they bought from USN boneyard at Lichfield Park, Arizona in i think 1960. Only got one flying in UK that i saw for the first time in 82. Love 'em.
Fantastic. So nice to hear the radial engine without background music. What was the chase plane? Must have been fast to get some of those outside turn shots. Bravo!
My favorite of the big Grumman cats The Mighty F8F
Bearcat my favorite US built fighter
Thank you for your comment, yes, it's beautiful plane.

Thank you for your comment, the chase plane was T-6 Texan, it's beautiful plane.
Great looking warbird, but I always wonder why they didn't put a spinner on that big prop??
