F7F Tigercat Bad Kitty sold?

[CJAM427]

Has anyone else heard anything about Historic Flight Foundation's Tigercat being sold to a certain Houston collector or being traded to Planes of Fame?

Just have to look for the right clues...

Save for an Avenger and Goose, the addition of the F7F pretty well rounds-out the Grumman-built section of the collection (Friedkin).

Doh! I didn't even think of looking there, thank you!

Not entirely sure, just something I had heard. Judging by the registration though, I think it has been sold.

According to their FB page HFM is getting a DH 89 Rapide (ex G-AHXW)

Hi all, I am a new member and a docent at Historic Flight Foundation. The Tigercat is indeed gone to California. Our DH89 is now freshly painted in a BEA scheme. The Rapide was AKIK not part of a trade. Warbird business is usually pretty hush hush so any details of a trade and future aquisitions are kept under the table in most cases. HFF did aquire a Stearman that is supposed to be a late and relative low time aircraft. It has undergone overhaul, recovering and finished in the all silver paint.
