The Bearcat concept was inspired by the early 1943 evaluation of a captured Focke-Wulf Fw 190 by Grumman test pilots and engineering staff. After flying the Fw 190, Grumman test pilot Robert Hall wrote a report directed to President Leroy Grumman, who then personally laid out the specifications for Design 58, the successor to the Hellcat. Design 58 closely emulated the design philosophy of the German fighter, although no part of the Fw 190 was copied. The F8F Bearcat stemmed from Design 58 with the primary missions of outperforming highly maneuverable late-model Japanese fighter aircraft such as the A6M5 Zero; a later role was defending the fleet against incoming airborne suicide (kamikaze) attacks.

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Time to take this puppy out on the course for some more practice. I wanna look good on my first race. Weather, very stormy with major clouding and a major thunderstorm with lots of air to ground lighting on its way. Perfect. Just what I need to practice.
I wonder if the ATC can help with the racing stuff in any way.
Perfect! The airspace is clear for multiple hours, and the current controller is actually the one who works during the races! And he actually agreed to do the stuff like he would during races like keep track of my times!
Lets get to work.
"Mustang 1, airspace is clear, cleared for takeoff, runway 8, over"
"Mustang 1, cleared for takeoff, out"
"Alright, climb for altitude and get ready for the start, out"

Thanks!
