That sure looks like a F7F Tigercat

I'm with John on this one; the P-61 had a much bigger airframe AND no folding wing

I think I agree that it is a Tigercat. Compare it to my most recent photo here:

It looks a little worse for wear, especially since I don't see any props. I wonder if they will clean/fix it up. Anyway, thanks for sharing, David! Oh, and the ICAO code for an F7F is: TCAT.

Guys, it is a F7F-3N Tigercat.
This one is the two seat night fighter version and it has radar with its more rounded and bulbous nose rather than the single seat version its sleeker and narrow nose.

Thanks, Jim! I thought the nose looked a little "off."
