Country: | You mean nobody can fly it?
Bummer.
Edit: Just had a second thought. Does it have an engine that works? Could a minature person fly in it?
Thanks for all the pics. Nice to see a Bearcat.

LOL - no, it IS flyable - look at the instument panels I posted. It's a bit tight in the cockpit but there's plenty of room for most people. That's about an $800,000 composite airplane that goes close to 400 mph....

Country: | Just a thought, why didn't the USAAF make some of those mini Mustangs in WWII?  They could be good for special mission jobs.

I'll have more photos of them posted soon.

Country: | Well (I don't know if you ever saw them before), the Snowbirds always were a little conservative... They've never been anything like the Blue Angels or the Thunderbirds, most of their "stunts" consists in keeping a thight formation while doing aerial figures.
That's harder than we think, but not as impressive as others. | |

actually an f2g, I believe the only one still flying... only a few are left total 
the one blade was painted white to make an illusion of the engine rotating slowly, it's very noticeable and cool looking from the ground | |
