I had never seen a Tigercat in the air. And I want to tell you that it is VERY COOL! For more info on Tigercats try this site:

Thanks, Uwe! While the weather was nice that day, it was overcast and very hazy/smoky. So, I didn't get a nice blue sky. But I was near the end of the runway and when this thing came screaming over at about a hundred feet (or so) it was VERY impressive! Even better than a P-51! Anyway, if you ever get a chance to see one, don't pass it up!

Yeah, I don't know, Tom. I know some Tigercats were converted to fire bombers, but I don't know if this was one of them. I'll try to do some more research, and see if I can find out. Thanks!
