They have a really good video with this one.
The Bearcat was the last single engined, single seat carrier fighter built by the Grumman Iron Works. Flow by The US Navy, US Marine Corps, French Armee' de le Air and the Royal Thai Air Force. I had a model of a Royal Thai Air Force Bearcat when I was 14.

I'd seen the Bearcats vid before... mebbe Lex linked it? But I watched it again, anyway. You can NEVER get enough of beautiful, pristine warbirds in flight.
