N700A was purchased by Bill Fornof in 1969. By 1970 it was painted in the Cadillac Bronze scheme to match his other F8F N7700C. For the 1970 airshow season Bill's son, Corky Fornof, flew N700A as part of a two aircraft display while his Father flew N7700C. Their routine was loosely based on US Navy Blue Angel maneuvers, including head on passes as well as two ship overhead formation maneuvers. This airshow may have been their first public showing, as it was early in the airshow season as well as being at their home airfield.

Although still wearing the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratories logo, N700A was owned by Bill Fornof when the slide was taken. He had purchased the aircraft earlier in 1969. Mr. Fornof, in fact, used this aircraft for his airshow performance on the date the slide was taken. N700A was built in 1950 as a Grumman owned and operated civilian G-58, and never saw USN service. It was sold to Cornell in 1959, who sold it to Mr. Fornof in 1969.

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.

On display at the Royal Thai Air Force Museum. This Bearcat is in the markings of the 43rd Tactical Fighter Squadron based at Takli. The dark navy blue scheme was changed later to air superiority grey on some aircraft. A total of 204 Bearcats served with the RTAF.
