Grumman F-11F Tiger

Begun as a supersonic variant of the F9F Cougar, the Tiger quickly evolved into an entirely new design with its own designation, F11F. The Tiger showed great early promise as a fighter, but the rapid advancement of aviation technology in the 1950s resulted in the plane’s obsolescence even before it entered service. It was used by the Blue Angels for a few years. Seems fitting that a current "Blue Angel" can be seen above the Tiger.
