Title: Grumman F11F Tiger

The F11F Tiger was originally a development of the F9F-6/7 Cougar incorporating area rule and other technical advances. Although the prototype first flew in 1954 as the XF9F-9, it was recognised as a new design and re-designated the F11F in 1955. The aircraft entered service in 1956, but performance was inferior to the F8U Crusader and the J65 engine proved unreliable. As a consequence production was limited to 200 examples and the aircraft was withdrawn from carrier operations after only four years in 1961.

The aircraft continued to serve with Reserve and training units until 1969. In addition the F11F was the mount for the US Navy’s famous aerobatic team the “Blue Angels” from 1957 to 1969 .
