The Grumman F9F Panther

Watched a movie yesterday The Men of the Fighting Lady on TCM while eating lunch. 1950's era flic that would not past muster today - Wingman guides blinded pilot back to carrier for a landing and survives - Ya right.
But the flying sequences of the F9 were spectacular. To my mind one of the cleanest designs of that time. I used to watch them while stationed at Pensacola take off and land. Grumman's first jet and the first jet that the Blue Angels flew.

Neil Armstrong's plane. I love that era of jets as well as the F-9 Cougar. Tip tanks were the trademark of these planes such as the P-80 Shooting Star.

Yes, the F-9 designation was shared with the swept wing Cougar, only Naval aircraft to do so.
The F9F-8T was widely used at Pensacola.
