		The Grumman F9F Cougar (redesignated the F-9 Cougar in the 1962 joint service aircraft designation system) was a aircraft carrier-based fighter aircraft for the United States Navy.
		The only version of the Cougar to see combat was, oddly enough, the TF-9J trainer; they were used in the airborne command role, directing airstrikes against enemy positions in South Vietnam during 1966 and 1967.
		F9F Panther The Grumman F9F Panther was the manufacturers first jet fighter and the US Navys second.

	Grumman F9F
		It remains something of a mystery why the Navy did not renumber the Cougar as the F11F-1, which was the next numerical designation available.
		The first unit to receive the F9F-6 was VF-32, which converted to the Cougar in November of 1952, too late to fly combat sorties in Korea.
		Sixty F9F-6 Cougar airframes were fitted by Grumman with a camera installation in the nose in place of the cannon, and were delivered under the designation F9F-6P between June 1954 and March 1955.

	Grumman F9F-6 "Cougar" (Page 2)
		All Cougars were armed with four 20-mm cannon and had two wing racks for 1,000-lb bombs or, more usually, 150-US gal drop tanks.
		In service, a number of F9F-6s were fitted with a UHF homing antenna in a faring beneath the nose and a few had an in flight refueling probe installed in the nose.
		Developed in great haste during the Korean War as a stop-gap design to provide the Navy with a fighter having performance comparable to that of the MIG-15, the Cougar was made ready for squadron assignment in a remarkably short time.

		The F9F Cougar entered service too late to see combat in Korea (though it made it into theater just as the treaty was signed) and left service too early for Vietnam, though a few TF-9J trainers were pressed into Forward Air Control (FAC) duties early in that war.

		The Grumman F9F-8B (F-9) Cougar was the final single-seat version of the F9F-6 line of carrier fighters that flew as the straight wing Panther in 1947.

	Grumman F9F Cougar - History, Specifications and Pictures - Military and Civilian Aircraft
		The F9F Cougar, however, was the first time Grumman had delved into swept-wing design as pioneered by the Germans throughout the war.
		Armed with 2 x 20mm cannons and underwing/fuselage provisions for ordnance ranging from bombs to air-to-surface rockets, the Cougar was a light attack strike fighter and capable dogfighter that could undertake carrierbased or land-based operations.
		The F9F Cougar would go down as a successful platform building upon the already successful airframe of the F9F Panther and lessons learned from the Second World War and the Korean War.

		It will also replace the much too narrow fairing on the Fonderie-Miniature F9F-8 Cougar kit.
