Sooooo, how am I going to know to press 1 or 2, if I do not speak English????

Who would have thought a couple years ago that there would be several Bearcats on the market to choose from!?!? Makes it hard to pick one!

If I was a little tighter with Paul Allen I would be all over that deal! That plane is about my ultimate aircraft fantasy. I like the -1 Bearcat better than the -2 model because it just looks much better with the shorter tailfin and if you are not firing the 20mm cannons, there is no need for the tall tail.

there have been 2 in trade a plane magazine for that price for quite a while. in light of the current u.s. economic situation, not to many people are that monetarily solvent or liquid wallet wise!!
