This Grumman F8F-2 Bearcat has little in common with any other. Perhaps its biggest modification is the installation of a Wright R-3350 radial engine, which has powered this aircraft to seven National Unlimited Championships. It also is the current holder of the 3km absolute speed record for a piston-powered aircraft at 528.329 mph. For more information on Lyle Shelton's Rare Bear, please visit: www.rarebear.com.
