• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Got a welcome surprise at work a couple days ago when I heard the unmistakable sound of two large radials approaching at high speed. I looked up from my project out the open hanger door just in time to see Historic Flight Foundation's F7F flash by at about 200 kts in a nearly 90 degree bank with the wingtip held what looked like only inches above the runway. By the time I had scrambled outside along with everyone else in earshot he was already at 2,000ft, dipping his wing into another 90 degree bank and was gone. We tried calling him on the radio to get him to come back and do it again, but he had already changed frequencies. Sorry, it was too fast for a picture, but it made my week.

Here's the plane: http://historicflight.org/hf/collection/tigercat/
