Hellcat ID question

Posted by Rob Mears on Sun Oct 26, 2003 03:40:06 AM

I found Phil Juvet's photo archive on the net, and it has more than a few interesting photos :)

I ran across this one of what appears to be an exceptionally detailed restoration of a Hellcat, complete with what appears to be Reserve markings. Anyone know who this one belongs to / where it's located?

I think Reserve Squadron paint schemes a lot of times don't get the respect they deserve. There are more than a few exceptionally attractive and colorful Reserve schemes out there that could really bring attention to one's warbird, especially to the casual observer who can't easily differentiate a "war vet" scheme from that of a "weekend warrior" :)

Phil's website also has three fairly high resolution images of the Orote Point FG-1D Corsair wrecksite on Guam. Definately worth a look for the Corsair fans!
