After WWII, this Wildcat (bu 86581, among the last built) was an instructional airframe at New Mexico Highlands University, Las Vegas, NM. Acquired in 1968 and moved by truck to Fayetteville, AR, the aircraft was restored and flew in 1969 as N8658. WWII Marine and corporate pilot Preston Parish bought the aircraft in 1971. With his wife, a former WWII WASP pilot, they would establish the Kalamazoo Aviation History Museum in 1977 (renamed Air Zoo in 1999). The Wildcat was airworthy until the registration was cancelled in 2014 and it remains on display.

Built in 1945 as FM-2 Bureau Number 86746. The FM-2 was the last version of the Wildcat and had a more powerful engine, the 1350 HP Wright R-1820-56 Cyclone. This required more vertical fin area resulting in the taller tail. The FM-2 was primarily assigned to the CVE carriers operated by the US Navy during WW 2.
