How many Tigercats are actively flying?
Who owns them and where?

I have had one chance to see one fly but it had a problem during runup and didn't fly, man was I disappointed.........

Rod Lewis has two

N700F 80390 GRUMMAN F7F-3

N805MB 80503 Grumman F7F-3P

Two flying with Rod Lewis in Texas
One with John Sessions at Paine Field, WA
One with Joe Clark at Van Nuys (usually flown by Clay Lacy)
The late Bob Pond's example, although airworthy, has been parked at Palm Springs for about the past 6 years
One on rebuild for Jim Slattery at Fighter Rebuilders, Chino
Another with Westpac in Colorado
One stored with Weeks in Florida
Pensacola, Pima and Chino all have static examples
Is the ex-Mike Bogue/Gary Flanders one still at Ione?

Actively flying? I'd say 4: Joe Clarks 1, Rods 2 & John Sessions 1.... altho isn't one of Rod's in for paint?

I saw an article here just recently where there was another one up and flying. I would have to did through my magazines to see where and who owned it. It's good to see there are still some flying.

I think it's the same bird, the article is in Air Classics May or June issue I believe.

Hopefully it loses the gold paint on the engines, made it look like the engines were overhauled at Pepboys...
