Rare Bear
__NOTOC__

''Rare Bear'' is a highly modified Grumman F8F Bearcat that dominated the Reno Air Races for decades.
==History==

The Bearcat that became Rare Bear was a severely damaged wreck when discovered by Lyle Shelton in 1969. It had been abandoned next to a runway in Valparaiso, Indiana after it crashed there from a throttle-on torque roll in 1962. The airplane had been stripped by parts hunters, so Shelton found a fuselage, wing center section, landing gear and a right wing panel, but little else. Shelton bought the wreck and had the pieces trucked to Orange County and restoration began. One of the major modifications made during the rebuild involved installing a more powerful Wright R-3350 (from a Douglas Skyraider) in place of the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 engine that is standard for a Bearcat. A Douglas DC-7 propeller and cowl were used and Shelton bought the landing gear fairings and doors from the wreck of Bob Kucera's Bearcat. Bill Fornoff loaned him a left wing panel and Gunter Balz supplied a rudder. The windshield and canopy were supplied by Edward T. Maloney.〔Kinert, Reed, ''Racing Planes and Air Races; 1970 Annual'', Aero Publishers, Inc., Fallbrook California, 1970.〕 The rebuild was finished with the first flight on 13 September 1969.〔('The Bear' ) Retrieved 1 July 2011.〕
