Rusty I defer to your superior knowledge. I checked yesterday and you are correct it is a Hellcat
So as you are all aware today, December 6th, is a "day that will live in infamy" or the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
On Sunday morning to commemorate the event, the local air museum put on  a display:
At 10:49 am these flew in - on the left a Japanese VAL Dive bomber and on the right a ZERO Fighter.
Followed by individual runs timed to coincide with the actual commentary as the bombs and torpedoes were dropped.
Very well done.
