The Grumman F8F-2 Bearcat holds a special place in the history of the Blue Angels, being one of their original aircraft! Prior to transitioning to jet aircraft, the Blue Angels relied on this particular aircraft. We had the opportunity to interview John O'Connor for an in-depth exploration of this remarkable plane, uncovering the exceptional engineering elements that enable it to perform various altitudes during flight! | Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology | Facebook
