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:

sehr schön!!
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!
Have you sent this into Air Classics?..or related magazines?........frick! so cool! A+ x 5
Be cool if this was the same plane the only one I've ever seen https://flightaware.com/photos/view/286780-cf4711545546d6afdf2c851f998cbc84607cbf24/user/BFInative/sort/dateasc/page/8
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!
