Big kitty. The Tigercat was also one of the fastest piston engine fighters ever with a top speed of 460 MPH. Also, the Tigercat was supposed to be named Tomcat, but the Navy thought the name was risqué.

Nose art off of this one.

There's a black one that is frequently at Oshkosh (I posted a pic of it for Warbird Wednesday).

I can never get over that skinny fuselage. Must have felt like flying a bullet.
