Closest I've seen was back in around 1970 when Bill and Corkey Fornof
flew a two Bearcat show.
Bill Sessions loves beating up Paine Field in his F8F these days;
hopefully he will be back at it soon after the crash of his DH Dragon
Rapide at Abbotsford this summer that cost him a foot. He claims he
will...
