When delivered to the USN in 1948 this F8F went straight to the Naval Air Technical Training Unit here at NAS Pensacola but was transferred to the US Navy Reserve in 1950 at Akron, OH then Birmingham, AL. After time with experimental unit VX-20, it was struck off in 1956 with just 757 hours recorded.

Taxiing out for its display at Duxford Autumn Airshow 2013. Built to US Navy requirements, the Bearcat was too late to see combat in the Pacific War. Powered by a P&W R-2800 Double Wasp similar to the Hellcat, it was smaller and lighter, giving it a faster climb. The type equipped USN squadrons, though only saw combat in Indochina as recce and napalm equipped ground-attack 'Beercats' of ten Groupes of l'Armée de l'Air and with the VNAF. This ex-USN recce F8F-2P joined The Fighter Collection in 1981.

Bill Fornof's F8F-2P in front of the Fornof hangar at Houma, LA. Mr. Fornof owned the Cadillac auto dealership in Houma, and he used Cadillac Bronze auto paint on his Bearcat. A former Naval Aviator and fighter pilot, his airshow display was second to none. I was fortunate to have seen him perform several times at airshows in and around the Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana area. N7700C was originally built for the US Navy as F8F-2P Bureau Number 121608.
