F7F Tigercat - Bad Kitty Tribute

I know I started a poll about what warbird you wanted to see on Monday, but considering I just received this news, I figured I'd present 13 minutes of Tigercat goodness with you. As with many warbird collections, sometimes planes get traded or sold to other organizations. Such is the case of our resident F7F Tigercat "Bad Kitty" that was part of Historic Flight Foundation​. "Bad Kitty" was easily one of my all-time favorite warbirds, having one of the most hair-raising sounds I've ever heard from a warbird. Nothing matches that runway freight-train sound of this thing roaring overhead. "Bad Kitty" is now registered with the Friedkins down in SoCal. But in her place will be four other radial warriors of the sky, rounding out an already impressive collection. Though I will miss seeing the Tigercat beat up the pattern, I anxiously await the arrival of the new residents, and can't wait to share the experience with you all.
