I like tatertots. Especially when they're fried not baked. And served with cajun spice. The kind that you get at Niffer's Place in Auburn, AL.

I think it's an F4F Wildcat.
That was my second guess, but the Wildcat's wings are mounted a little higher on the fuselage and are straight, though. The Hellcat's wings are mounted below the centerline of the propeller shaft and have a slight bend about 1/4 of the way out from the fuselage. Frankly, it looks like the Hellcat's wings mounted on the Wildcat's body.

You guys are right...the wings are markedly different on the 'tot plane.

I’m not 100% certain, but I think Schnelly might be mocking us. But, damn, the wing structure on that tot plane looks familiar.

Good turnout at the KC Region PCA weekly breakfast with about 50 cars.
Then headed down to The Underground (the museum’s classic/exotic storage facility) for a car show to benefit local high school automotive tech programs. I drove the Volkswagen:

Today I learned - thanks to Frunky's comment - that there is a food item called a "tater tot bomb" which consists of tater tots and cheese. Wrapped in bacon.
My arteries clogged a bit just looking at the pictures...
