Tigercats and Bearcats are also pretty rare these days. You just happen to be at airshows where a few types are showing up and another another type (Hellcats) are not. Pure happenstance.

Corsairs were produced well into the '50s and and used by foreign air forces into the 1970s. Mustangs, though production ended in 1945, were used by foreign governments into the '70s and even the Dominican Republic retired its last Mustangs in the early 1980s. So, more of those types survived.
