It was immediately placed into storage at Tillamook Naval Air Station, Oregon. The aircraft was subsequently struck off US Navy charge on the 28<sup>th<\/sup> February 1946.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The aircraft went through a series of private owners between 1946 and 1975, and in 1975 it was placed on display at the Chennault Air Museum, California. This is where it stayed until 1992, when it was moved to Chino for overhaul to airworthy condition by Fighter Rebuilders. The first post restoration flight took place in January 1993.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The aircraft was acquired by The Fighter Collection in 1993 and shipped to Duxford in April of the same year. It currently wears the scheme of a Fleet Air Arm Wildcat on board HMS Tracker in 1944.<\/p>\n<p>\n[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][gap size=&#8221;2em&#8221;]\n<p class=\"subtitle\" style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"left\">\u00a0Type: Grumman FM2<\/p>\n<p class=\"subtitle\" style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"left\">Maximum Take off Weight:<span id=\"currentModule_currentModule_MTOW\">3402kg<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"subtitle\" style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"left\">Year Built:<span id=\"currentModule_currentModule_YearBuilt\">1944<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"subtitle\" style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"left\">Engine: Wright Aeronautical Corp R1820-56WA<\/p>\n<p class=\"subtitle\" style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"left\">Propellor: Curtiss Electric C-53250<\/p>\n<p class=\"subtitle\" style=\"font-weight: bold; text-align: left;\" align=\"left\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Gallery:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #444444;\">[print_gllr id=624]<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][rev_slider_vc alias=&#8221;wildcat&#8221;][gap size=&#8221;2em&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][gap size=&#8221;2em&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-633","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fighter-collection.com\/cft\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fighter-collection.com\/cft\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fighter-collection.com\/cft\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fighter-collection.com\/cft\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fighter-collection.com\/cft\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=633"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/fighter-collection.com\/cft\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/633\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4817,"href":"https:\/\/fighter-collection.com\/cft\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/633\/revisions\/4817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fighter-collection.com\/cft\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
