Does anyone have a picture with ALL the Grumman cats flying together? Way back when the Muskegon Air Fare was good (and around), they had a formation flight with the F4F Wildcat, F6F Hellcat, F7F Tigercat, F8F Bearcat, F9F Panther, and a F-14 Tomcat. I was pretty young at the time, but still, the sight of all those cats together was incredible!

By the way, of course the F-14 was flown by non-other than Dale "Snort" Snodgrass Cool

Yep, a chap who routinely flies a little too close to the ground. Hopefully he'll never get caught out.
