No, this one came from Evergreen (was owned by the USMC Museum IIRC)

No, that one is in Idaho with Mike Breshears being restored to airworthy condition on behalf of Allied Fighters. Mike did the restoration of "Dottie Mae". Mike is an expert craftsman and I expect that Hellcat to be the finest in the world when it is finished.

This particular one is unique in that it actually served as a radar-equipped F6F-3N night fighter during the war. And having seen it up close last May, I can tell you it is absolutely glorious. They absolutely NAILED the paint on this thing as well.

It's about as close to Bethpage 1944 as we're likely to get for some time. :)
