This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Whose Bearcat? I assumed it was the one once owned by the late Tom Woods.

I was told it is still owned by the family of the late Tom Wood. It's great to see it in the air again. It has been a long time since it was flown (publicly at least) and I know it has made at least two appearances away from its home airport this summer.

As far as I know it is still "owned" by the family and hangered in Fishers with the rest of the collection.

Yes, Quality Leasing is the name the Wood collection was/is under. It's been several years but I was told the collection was going to stay with the family, hopefully that doesn't change. It's great to see the Bearcat out getting some exercise.

The Bearcat was back in annual and was to fly at one of the last Indy airshows but the pilot couldn't make it in due to weather.

Already booked my hotel for next year. :D

Thanks to everyone who has continued to post pictures. Being able to attend Oshkosh the last three years has been awesome, and being able to relive it through the great photos here always caps off the experience perfectly.
