F7F-3P Tigercat ‘Here Kitty, Kitty!’ flight 2017

Stewart Dawson brought pure thunder to the 2017 Planes of Fame Airshow as he took the controls of Lewis Air Legends’ Grumman F7F-3P Tigercat, “Here Kitty, Kitty!” Sleek, powerful, and unmistakably menacing, the Tigercat tore across the sky with the kind of presence only a twin-engine Grumman beast can deliver.

Each pass showcased the aircraft’s raw speed, deep-throated roar, and rare wartime pedigree, reminding everyone why the F7F remains one of the most breathtaking and elusive warbirds still flying today. Do you agree? What about your favorite ‘cat’? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
