The Bearcat was the second type flown by the Blue Algels -- the first
type was the Hellcat. In fact, the Angels flew Grummans until the F-4
replaced the F-11F Tigers about 1969.

And they're still flying Grumman. Although the Tomcat is supposed to be on
it's way out eventually, it has served as the Navy's front-line fighter for
longer than any other aircraft.
