Hmmm, don't think so. As of a couple weeks ago, their Bearcat was still at Nelson's place, in the jig. Must be another one.

Different Bearcat. The Chino one is ex-CAF and I believe is owned by Steve Hinton rather than PoF.
The one at Ezell's is the ex-Elmer Ward one, and is being done for another owner.

Steve Searle is also the owner of B-25J Super Rabbit.
The B-25 is all tore apart up here right now.

The silver Bearcat is now owned Lewis by Aeronautical LLC.
See:

The thai markings looks good indeed!

It is indeed the ex-Hinton and Co. Bear now owned by Mr. Lewis.

So I make that the 4th Bearcat that Mr Lewis has acquired in the past couple of years, to go with his two Tigercats and a Wildcat.
He must like Grumman products!

Tue Mar 24, 2009 4:37 pm

The black T5+Z (or whatever it was) markings from Tillamook are long gone!
