Just swinging into a new week with a little gear swing from the @caf1957 @cafsocal F8F Bearcat. In the video, if it seems the gear is moving slow it's due to the fact that it is being hand pumped. This particular F8F was acquired by the CAF in 1991. The Bearcat was nicknamed "an engine with a saddle" by some pilots because of its high powered performance. The large engine fixed to the small frame made it one of the fastest piston-driven engines ever built. Video courtesy of John McMahon, SoCal W
