EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sleek and powerful form of a Grumman F11F-1 Tiger, with the registration number 138604 prominently displayed on its fuselage. The Tiger, a twin-engine, all-weather fleet defense fighter, was a significant addition to the United States Navy's fleet during the late 1950s. Its distinctive tiger shark tooth insignia, from which the aircraft derives its name, adds an element of ferocity to its already imposing presence. The Grumman F11F-1 Tiger was designed to outperform the Soviet MiG-15, which had given the US Navy pause during the Korean War. With a top speed of over 670 miles per hour and a range of over 1,300 miles, the Tiger was more than up to the task. Its advanced avionics and armament capabilities made it a formidable adversary in the skies. This particular Tiger, 138604, served with VF-111 "Sundowners" and saw action during the Vietnam War. The photograph captures it in flight, with its wings slicing through the clouds and its engines glowing brightly, a testament to the raw power and grace of this iconic aircraft. The Tiger's legacy continues to inspire awe and respect among aviation enthusiasts and military history buffs alike, making this photograph a must-have for any collection.
