Nothing’s more beautiful than hearing the meaty brapbrapbrap and the burbled roars of the Pratt-Whitney radials

[reckemroysrc]

One of the most beautiful plane's ever made. And the pilot flying it like he stole it

[davidhauton]

Surely one of the most graceful prop planes ever built?

We once saw @ Dayton an F7F Tigercat and an F14 Tomcat - Grumman's twin-engined cats - doing a simultaneous aerobatic display... massively awesome!

[billyaustin]

Awesome display. The head on at 2:50 gave me goosebumps 👏

[davidbarbour]

Those twins purring together make beautiful music 🎶

[sdjk]

Fabulous footage! Such a pleasure to hear flying a/c with proper sound. No music!

[MrDaiseymay]

Magnificent performance, a beauty to behold.

Great video AS! That is the first time I've ever seen the F7F not sitting in a static display. Outstanding! Thanks!

[sski]

That first pass was all I needed. The rest was icing, sprinkles, and candles on the cake. Vely Niiice!

OMG, this MADE MY DAY! I have an RC model of the Tigercat, and I think it's the sexiest of the Grumman Cats. LOVE IT.

Ear candy. This one was from the Airzoo in Kalamazoo Michigan. I remember seeing it back in 2005. But was sold in 2008 due to the recession. That and a bearcat was sold there too. Glad to see it take the skies again!

All. I. Can. Say. Is!.. Coolest airplane of all time! Saw it first time at the '91 EAA airshow.. The sound of those engines thundering away.. even 500 ft. up.. is positively visceral! I'm sorry this plane never got to see combat in WWII.. the sound alone would strike terror and awe into all.. it is a brute for it's size.. thanks for the great video!

[bmflmf]

Thank you so much for this!
What an absolutely beautiful Grumman!!

[stephenbrown]

Wow sensational display, many thanks 😊

[briansilcox]

Stew Dawson’s performances with the F7F are about on par with Lefty Gardner’ s meistro “White Lightnin, ” demonstrations. All of the grace and agility, but while the twin 2800’s sound is powerful, the Lightning’s collected Allison moan was awe inspiring with Gardner’s shows.

I have seen this beauty several times she is fast and loud 😮😮😊😊

The F7F Tigercat and the F8F Bearcat would've dominated the skies during WWII, but the war was almost over when they were developed.
