I understand the current plans call for it to stay in French markings initially, and to change to US markings after the airshow season, see this thread

Mark do you happen to know what the plan for it is once it reaches Houston? I would like to catch a glimpse of her here in town if she heads to the right airport.

Thanks.

The F8F BEARCAT is in the Great State of TEXAS. On it's way to Nelson Ezell place for a few days, then on to Chino for some more work and looking at things. When the decsion is made for airshows I will post them here, and on the www.pofairshows.com site as well. This is a great machine, and Ray has been lookin for this date.!!

Consider the scheme redone! You'll be able to see the new scheme at Reno in the Legacy Flight.
