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.
