Had WWII in the Pacific lasted much longer.... just image, this is what the Japanese would have seen flying over thier beaches... with 50 cal and 20mm blazing!!
Lets not forget the amazing P-61 Black Widow in this same category. Please check out my page and real website! I also just wrote a large article (on my blog page) about Combat Flight Simulator. There is a designer about to release this aircraft!
The Tigercat was one of the last piston fighter-bomber designs before jets took over forever. Two PW-R2800 engines. It would have been a real gas hog, and real blast to fly I'll bet.
I have seen all of those planes at the reno air races and the one that is named big boss man was Michal Browns plane that he raced along with september pops and september fury all of his planes and he had sold then right before the reno 2009 the f7f is one of the fastest planes in the bronze class of reno air races

When your right your right.
I didnt put any aerobatics into this video.
The aerobatics performance is in the video titled;
F7F Tigercat aerobatics by Steve Hinton.
I changed the name on this video.
