The F8F Bearcat--the last of the big radial engine fighter aircraft!
From brake release, the Bearcat could climb
to 10,000 feet faster than the F-4.
Al Taddeo, one of the original Blue Angels, died at the age of 94.
Al was a Blue Angel from 1946 to 1947 flying Hell Cats and Bear Cats.
This is a great video, enjoy, meet Al and feel the pride and
love of country.
