<p>c/n D.1081.
US Navy Bureau No 121707.
In the 1970’s, this Bearcat was on display in the Marine Corp museum at Quantico. Sold privately, it was restored to fly and took to the air again in 1992, painted Orange to represent the famous demonstrator aircraft ‘Gulfhawk 4th’. Sadly, it crashed at Oshkosh in 1993 and the wreck was then stored until 2010 when a second rebuild began.
The project is seen on temporary display in the Pond hangar at the Planes of Fame Museum,
Chino, California, USA.
