Rick,

It was the other CAF Wildcat NX681S BuNo 55585, the East Coast plane based in Virginia; light blue and white "F-15." Bought from Joe Speidel by Lloyd Nolen, 1961; titled 1966 to Gerald Martin, CAF; back to CAF title, Feb 1971. Early with CADF in gray, green,markings of USS Ranger, then to current markings. Had been pretty much inactive last 2-3 years until to Airsho this year. Pilot still not announced formally.
