Nobody's flown in a Bearcat? That would be the ultimate!

Grampi, there was only one Bearcat made into a two seater, the Late(God bless him) Elmer Ward built up his with a jump seat. Don't know how many got a ride in it but she lost her engine coming home from Oshkosh shortly after takeoff.(early ninetys?) It is now in our Jig having the rear fuselage built back up. But it is being rebuilt back single seat.
Your right though, that would be a kick in the rear !!

I've never seen a two seat Bearcat, so that be kinda hard to pull off.

Got a 25min ride in Strega at Phoenix in '95 as she was being towed to the other side of Williams Field for an engine run. Unfortunately, I was the one that left the ground...D.
