Hello,
Just got home from Saturday's show. It was fantastic for me!! Multiple Bearcats and Tigercats. Some new paint schemes. Here are a couple of shots:

Nice pics, thanks for sharing. I can't believe I'm not there! I almost never miss the PoF show but it just wasn't in the cards this year so the pictures are very much appreciated. There is a good shot of all five bearcats in flight over on Fence Check. What a sight and sound that must have been. Can you imagine if they had managed to pull in the Friedkin, Pond, and CAF B'cats too!

At least 2 of those are Friedkin's.

I don't see the one in reserve markings that was based at PoF for so long.

Thanks to those who came by and said hi. I don't know if there was a gathering for the group shot, but I was so swamped I wouldn't have been able to get away. If you're there tomorrow, come by and say hello :)

It's been repainted to match the one that came from Ray Dieckman

Roger that, I was unaware. Too bad, I really liked the Reserve markings. The ex-Whittington bird looks good too but I prefer the orange band to the yellow.

The picture on Fence Check shows #14 in the guard paint on the far right of the 5 ship formation. Is that the one you were talking about??

1 has a D on the tail with #224 on the side.
The other has a F with #225.

Below is a link to a quick and dirty video of Day 1 that I took at the Chino Airshow. FIVE Bearcats, the Horseman 3-ship Bearcat aerobatic display and Steve Hinton's Tigercat aerobatics. Absolutely great show! A major league "cat-fest" if there ever was one!

Very easy, just donate your plane to the CAF, then sponsor it for $10,000 and you too can have a sticker........................
