I have to pass this story on even though the planes
involved were not Ercoupes.

I had just landed at my home base and was contacting
ground for taxi when I spotted 2 other classic planes from
the 40's starting up. 

These were F4F Grumman Wildcats. Yes two of them. They took
off as a flight of 2 and made a low pass. 

I asked for taxi via the ramp so I could get closer than grabbed
a hand held and walked to the edge of the runway so I could follow
their runup and take off.

I could only find 2 F4F-3s listed, so one of the two must have been the
plane that was recovered from one of the Great Lakes some years back.
It was written up in EAA's magazine.

Cheers:
