Title: Marine Panther
Post by: irisheyes on August 24, 2010, 07:18:33 PM

The Grumman F9F Panther was the manufacturer's first jet fighter and one of the U.S. Navy's first successful carrier-based jet fighters. The Panther was the most widely used U.S. Navy jet fighter of the Korean War, flying 78,000 sorties and scoring the first air-to-air kill by the US Navy in the war, the downing of a North Korean Yakovlev Yak-9 fighter. Total F9F production was 1,382.

looks great, just a question.

 
is the ''R'' supposed to be backwards on the left side?

Thanks for pointing that out. I assume you meant the WP tail markings being backward on the starboard side.
