The Fighter Collection's biggest 'Cat' taxying out at Flying Legends 2005 with Chief Pilot Pete Kynsey at the helm. Built in 1945 she wears her original Bu. No. 80425. She's a former firebomber having been used in Oregon in the 60-70s, fully restored by Steve Hinton and Fighter rebuilders she flew again in 1996. Sadly, she's no longer with The Fighter Collection having been sold back to the USA in 2007.
