EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases United States Navy Blue Angels' Grumman F11F-1 Tiger jet, registration number 141738, during its tenure with the esteemed flight demonstration squadron. The image was captured at Burlington, Iowa, in 1958, when the Tiger was assigned to VF-156 and bore the unit code NH, with the call sign 105. In 1965, the Tiger became a part of the Blue Angels team, where it showcased its agility and power in the skies. However, on 18 February 1967, tragedy struck as the aircraft crashed near NAS El Centro, California, during a practice flight. Sadly, the pilot lost his life in the accident. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history of the United States Navy Blue Angels and the brave pilots who have served in this elite aviation unit. The Grumman F11F-1 Tiger, with its distinctive markings and powerful presence, continues to be an iconic symbol of the Blue Angels' legacy in the world of aviation.
