The Rare Bear is a 1946 built Grumman F8F Bearcat. It has been restored, substantially modified and equipped with a Wright R3350 engine producing in excess of 4000 horsepower. This has allowed the Rare Bear to establish the Closed Course World Speed Record (528.3 MPH) and 3000 Meter Time-To-Climb Record (91.9 seconds) and to win the Reno Air Race 2004! May we call it 'the fastest propeller driven aircraft in the world?'

Taxiing out for its display at Duxford Autumn Airshow 2013. Built to US Navy requirements, the Bearcat was too late to see combat in the Pacific War. Powered by a P&W R-2800 Double Wasp similar to the Hellcat, it was smaller and lighter, giving it a faster climb. The type equipped USN squadrons, though only saw combat in Indochina as recce and napalm equipped ground-attack 'Beercats' of ten Groupes of l'ArmƩe de l'Air and with the VNAF. This ex-USN recce F8F-2P joined The Fighter Collection in 1981.

'Beetle Bomb' was the yellow adversary aircraft (numbered 0) in the Blue Angles demonstration team during the 1940s. The team's other four Bearcats were numbered 1 to 4, and were Navy blue. On 24 Apr 1950, a few months after this photo was taken, 'Beetle Bomb' crashed while executing a roll after takeoff during a practice show at NAAS Whiting Field, FL.
