| BillParker | 14-May-11 16:33 | | A total of 24 Navy and Marine squadrons flew the Bearcat in the immediate postwar period. It was the mount for the Navy Blue Angels flight demonstration team from 1946 to 1950. The Bearcat was out of first-line service by the beginning of the Korean War in 1950; it didn't see any combat service in that war because the Navy and Marines judged the F4U Corsair to be a better close-support aircraft. The Bearcat lingered in US military service in the training and, as the "F8F-1D / F8F-2D", drone controller role into the mid-1950s. |
