This Wildcat has three passenger seats in the rear fuselage making this a very unique warbird. Flown regularly. In annual. Flies great. This is perhaps one of the most interesting Wildcat survivors (Bu #86680). It has a rich Navy and civilian history that has spanned over seventy years. While not a combat veteran like her sisters, this Wildcat has survived to tell the story of the GM Eastern plants in New Jersey, the Escort Carriers, Island Hopping in the Pacific balanced with long summer days in the Midwest and on the coast, flying rides, airshows and introducing several generations to flight.

2829 TTSN. In the 1950's the rear fuselage was converted to accommodate three passenger seats. Aircraft completely rebuilt in the 1970. New engine and prop in 2006 Regular airshow performer. flies great.
