This should answer two of the three questions.

It will be repainted.....................................

That's too bad, it looked really good in French markings.

Hi All,

A little birdy tells me that Ray Deickman traded his Corsair for the French Marked Bearcat.

Cheers

Actually, he sold the Corsair and bought the Bearcat.

I read in the Warbirds International yesterday that it was a complex three way trade.

It also said that the Corsair would be going to Pennsylvania and there was a statement from Ray saying that one of the first things he would do with the Bearcat was put it in American markings.

Mint posted on here some time ago asking for Marine Bearcat photos but only two training squadrons flew them so I can't imagine their markings just being the most attractive things.

Ok Dennis,

Then do we know who and where the Corsair went to

Sorry Rob, I was asked to not reveal the owner's name. Time will tell.

It is BuNo 121748. Most recently operated as F-AZRJ.

That link isn't working....which Bearcat is it that Ray bought?

The link to Ray's corsair has been disabled on purpose, however. Since it has been sold I will be reinstating the entry in the next few days.

Actually, the link was to the Bearcat page at www.pofairshows.com the entire site seems to have gone missing.

For the wondering minds that just can not take it...!!! The Corsair was sold, and the Bearcat was bought. The Corsair is now on it's way to her new home. Marine's Dream left California today and should be in Texas for the night now. You will meet the new owner soon, and keep your eye's on POF Airshows as we will have his name there as well. Plus he is going to keep the www.marinesdream.com as well. The Bearcat will be in the states soon, and you will be able to read all about it in Air Classics and Warbirds International, as it come's off the Boat. The plans are to fly the Bearcat to Chino for inspection, and readied for Airshow season 2005. Ray will have the Bearcat at the Chino Show and will then head back here to the East to join the other Fighters for the rest of the season. The POF Airshows.com will be back soon, thanks to Doug and Mark. Doug and Mark, everything here at the home front is still in the same cruizing mode as before keeping the pressure and temp. down. Those Mustangs sure are tempermental.

Hey Mint where in Texas is she staying tonight? Anywhere near Houston by chance?
