This folder contains a repaint for the Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat by Flying Iron. It shows Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat BuNo 79683 #4 of the Kalamazoo Aviation History Museum or Air Zoo. When the museum received the Hellcat in the spring of 1979, it needed some attention. As the Air Zoo’s second, full-scale, restoration project, the Hellcat allowed the restoration team to hone their talents and techniques to perfection. Once finished the aircraft won EAA Grand Champion Warbird of 1981 and was requested for fly-ins and airshows across the country. As part of the Flight of the Grumman Cats, this is one of the planes that gave the museum its nickname, Air Zoo. Repaint by JanKees
