    She is beautiful! Are you and your father going to be with her as well?
    Is Howard going to fly her?

      Is that the LSFM Bearcat?

        This plane was for sale for a really long time at Courtesy. I for one am glad to not only see it flying again, but especially glad to see it at Stead!!

          I'm not sure if it is. Did LSFM sell theirs? John O'Conner owns this one and will be the race pilot this year providing all goes well at PRS.

            Sorry Bob, dad and I won't be there this year. No Howard won't be the pilot either, he's done.
            If John O'Conner doesn't get qualed then I believe Nelson Ezell will fly and/or act as back up.
            This one is the ex LSFM bird.

                  Since we're talking about Bearcats, does anyone know the status of the Gulfhawk IV replica Bearcat that crashed a few years back? I had heard at one time it was being restored back to flying condition.

                    Its is being rebuilt in Chino with Steve Hinton, I believe Steven Grey in Duxford owns her.

                      Funny you mention the Gulfhawk, I was thinking of it as I read this. It was the sister ship to the ex LSFM Bearcat when they were used as wind machines at Kaman helicopters.

                        Very pretty. I like the yellow on blue more than white on blue.
