Hey Rob! I don't have my notes in front of me, but if memory serves correctly, Steve's Bearcat is actually one of the two Bearcats purchased by Lloyd Nolan and the fledgling
CAF, back in 1958? The storyline that I have is that the machine was damaged in a forced landing.... something having to do with nothing sloshing around in the gas tank. I think this was in the summer of 74? Anyway, the machine was placed into storage and later bought by Steve in/around
1987. It was registered N-7957C, Bn. 121614. Oh, by the way Rob, anything that resembles the truth is accidental.... You have got to get to Midland for the show... last weekend in Sept.. for this year! Myself, Bill Green, Steve Rister, Chuck Gardner, Jerry Toliver, Joe Gonzalez, Ken Dawson, Paul Koskela..... the list goes on... we have a blast...
Thanks... Alan Brooks
