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. http://www.ezellaviation.com/page60.html

The silver Bearcat is now owned Lewis by Aeronautical LLC.
See: http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry ... rtxt=747NF

The thai markings looks good indeed!

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!
