In 1969 J. W. Fornof and his son John William "Corky" Fornof Jr formed the first civilian high performance aerobatic team with these two matching Grumman Bearcats. N700A was a G-58B civilian version of the Bearcat built by Grumman as a company demonstrator and flown by Roger Wolfe Kahn, manager of the technical service and sales division of the company. Fornof Sr's Bearcat (N7700C), seen parked behind, was former US Navy 121608 c/n 982. This aircraft crashed during a performance June 5, 1971 when a wing section separated due to metal fatigue.

Isn't this *almost* like one of those old shots from the 50s & 60s? A classic prop on the ramp, baggage carts and service vehicles in attendance, passenger stairs and a small terminal building in the background. OK, so my geeky aeroplane imagination has run a bit wild but, nevertheless, this was a fantastic day out at this museum.

Grateful thanks to the people at the American Helicopter Museum for their helpfulness and kindness. This was the only day I could visit and the museum was actually closed, yet they let me in and allowed me to photograph their exhibits. Really nice people so please visit if you get the chance!

This was an experimental, medium-lift, tandem rotor, cargo helicopter developed privately by Boeing to demonstrate advanced helicopter technology. It was intended as a technology demonstrator with no plans to put the type into production. Many of it's design features were carried onto other programs, including the RAH-66 Comanche and V-22 Osprey. This is the sole prototype and is now on display at the American Helicopter Museum.

After testing this CCW-5, now on display as part of the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum, the conclusion was reached that the advantage in lift and field length performance achieved by the channel wing did not offset the layout's many deficiencies resulting from the increased drag profile and weight penalties.
