Too bad they (like most) pass-up my Dad's Gruman F7F Tigercat. Awesome plane of limited numbers. Twin-engine dive bomber with tricycle gear, folding wings (designed for carrier use). Fuselage shape led to the F8F Panther.

Ok, let me try again. http://www.vectorsite.net/indexav.html
I don't know where the period came from, 'cause I did the copy n' paste thing there ya know
I found this site while looking for some info on the A-5 Vigilante. Anyone remember those? Any old Aircraft Carrier sailors (Airdales) from the 60's and early 70's here in the forums?

Certified Wing-nut checking in here. I am rated CFII/ME for any who know or care what that means. Pat, for the love of God, man.....Does your Dad own an F7-F? or did he actually fly one for Uncle Sam?... either way that is AWESOME. There used to be a beautiful F-7 at the Downtown Fort Collins Airport in Fort Collins, Colorado. Don't know if it's still there or not, but occasionally I'd have a hop in there on a Sat. or Sun. and he'd be out polishing it, and sometimes FLYING it. What a beaut! My Dad (Rest his soul) did his part in a B-29 out of Guam in 1945. Great site John!
Hey Ben. I really liked the site. Being an old aircraft carrier sailor, I really enjoyed the stories on the carrier aircraft. Brought back a lot of memories.
