Wildcat Awakened

For nearly half a century, Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat BuNo 12260 rested on the bottom of Lake Michigan, a relic of World War II Navy aircraft carrier training. More than 30 years after it emerged from the chilly waters of the lake and 28 years after the restoration, the aircraft is still airworthy, and is the only known flying F4F in the world.
