I used to put on WW2 fly-ins along with Ace Symposiums, seeing a Hellcat up close, watching them fly by, and talking to the old timers that flew them in combat was a magical experience.
I had many conversations with Buth Voris who was one of the the most gracious humans I've known about his combat experience in a Hellcat, amazing.
Butch started the Blue Angels after the war in 1948 with Hellcats. I miss men like him in today's society.
