A truly amazing story...From the wreckage in an Indiana cornfield to becoming the Greatest Unlimited Air Racer of modern times. This is the story of the Rare Bear, a Grumman F8F-2 WWII era fighter. This 53min program chronicles the unique history of the plane and it's crews over the years.

Seven months before the 2007 Reno National Championship Air Races the plane sits stripped of everything...wings, engine, tail surfaces. The crew members and pilot tell of their struggles and doubts of being able to have the plane ready to compete, let alone win the 2007 Championship Race.

A remarkable story with an amazing ending that could have been pulled from the pages of a Hollywood script.
