It's certainly proved to be a remarkable aircraft, let's hope the Wildcat proves to be a worthy successor..

Ripple, l suppose they call it ....progress!
All the magnificent aircraft, that l love, ie. the Avro Vulcan Bomber, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird and the English Electric Lightning, no longer fly. Sad really!

Old Lynx pilots proverb: If something hasn't broken/fallen off/caught fire/exploded/failed/destroyed itself into oblivion/eaten itself/generally stopped functioning....its either just about to or its sat in the hangar
