Grumman F11F-1 Tiger






Last updated on: May 8, 2012

Just 200 of these planes were produced. People might remember these jets mostly for their airshows with the famed Blue Angels, but they also served admirably as advanced jet trainers after their useful frontline service years were over.

This is a work in progress and any help would be appreciated. Information on these planes is rather difficult to locate online and this work will remain incomplete unless you the readers offer to help me. I will give due credit, of course, so feel free to email me. Pass along any information that you might have.
