Comments: Grumman F7F-3N Tigercat night fighter, "Big Bossman" was recently purchased by Mike Brown and the September Pops Unlimited Racing Group. It was built as a single seat F7F-3 and served the U.S. Marine Corps as BuNo 80503. It was later converted to a fire fighting tanker and operated by TBM Incorporated from 1960 to the 1970s. It was rebuilt as a two-seater in 1988 - 1989.
