		Panthers served with distinction in the Korean War, downing five Mikoyan MiG-15s with no loss despite the MiG's superior performance.
		Panthers were withdrawn from front-line service in 1956, but remained in training roles and with the reserves until 1958.
		A swept-wing derivative of the Panther was later built, after concerns about the Panther's inferiority to its MiG opponents in Korea; this plane was the Grumman F9F Cougar.

	F9F-2 Panther
		An aircraft of "firsts," the sleek Grumman F9F Panther was the first jet powered fighter to see widespread service with the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.
		The F9F it replaced was badly damaged during a landing accident and is now on static display at the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida.
		The Museum's Panther was acquired in 1993 and required 25,000 man hours to restore it to its original flying condition.

		The "Panther" is one of the best known military aircraft of this period and definitely a "classic" for its time.
		This original "Panther" did not have wing tip fuel tanks, but these were soon added, allowing an extra 240 gallons of fuel to be carried.
		The F9F was, in fact, fueled by aviation gasoline, as were most of the early jets.

		Panthers were withdrawn from front-line service in 1956, but remained in training roles and with Reserve units until 1958, some continuing to serve in small numbers into the 1960s.
		The Argentine Panthers were involved in the general mobilization during the 1965 border clash between Argentina and Chile but no combat occurred.
		From 1946, a swept-wing version was considered and after concerns about the Panther's inferiority to its MiG opponents in Korea, a conversion of the Panther (Design 93) resulted in a swept-wing derivative of the Panther, the Grumman F9F Cougar, which retained the Panther's designation number.

	The Grumman F9F Panther - USA
		The dash 5 was a formidable ground attack weapon with a capacity of 2,000 lbs (907.20 kg) of bombs and six 5" (12.7 cm) rockets, in addition to four 20 mm cannons mounted in the nose with 200 rounds each.
		At first, Panthers were so priceless even the Navy Flight Demonstration Team (The Blue Angels) was stripped of its new Panthers, which were then sent to battle in Korea.
		The last Panthers were flown by the US Marines until 1957, while some Naval Reserve craft remained in service a few years longer.

	More information about the Grumman F9F-8 Carrier Based Cougar
		In 1951 the US Navy accepted Grumman's proposal for a swept-wing version of the F9F Panther, and this first flew in September 1951 as the XF6F-6 with a 3289-kg 17,250-Ib) J48P-8 and a new 35degree swept wing carrying larger flaps, fences, leading-edge slats and spoilers in place of ailerons.
		Obviously a derivation of the Panther series, the Cougar was ordered on March 2,1951, to provide the Navy with a weapon to combat the swept-winged MiG15's being encountered in Korea.
		During the original planning of the Panther, Grumman had studied the effects of the raked wing and it was determined that they could be easily incorporated into the basic design.

	Hobbycraft/Trumpeter 1/48 F9F-2 Panther Sneak Preview

		The Panther kit is presented on three parts trees molded in light gray styrene.
		If anyone is qualified to speak on the aircraft it would indeed be the man who first flew the aircraft and continued to flight test the various updates to the airframe as Grumman's chief test pilot.

	1/32 F9F Panther by Larry Hawkins
		This F9F Panther is the vac kit by Combat Models and was again a fun kit to build.
		When all the coats were dry,I then took an old scuff pad that I have after using them to paint cars along time ago,and scuffed the primer down to a smooth surface and to give the paint something to grab on to.
		I went ahead and painted the panther using a mixture of Flat Black and blue for the color.

	Grumman F9F-6 Cougar
		Work on a swept-wing Panther, which had been shelved because of the poor low-speed behavior of swept-wing aircraft.
		A contract for the modification of three F9F-5 airframes was awarded in March of 1951, and the F9F-6 prototype first flew six and a half months later The first F9F-6s were delivered to VF-32 in November 1951, just one year after the MiG- I5's debut in Korea.
		Conceived as a straightforward derivative of the Panther, the F9F-6 retained the fuselage, vertical tail surfaces, power plant, and undercarriage of the F9F-5 and was fitted with wings swept at 35 degrees at quarter chord and with swept horizontal tail surfaces.

		Williams pushed his Panther jet toward the landing strip at a base called K-13; the wheels hit the strip at 200 mph; he stomped the brakes and the flaming plane slid for nearly two miles before he popped the canopy and jumped out.
		The F9F Panther -- the first jet-powered fighter to see widespread service with the Navy and Marine Corps -- was a familiar sight in the skies over Rhode Island 50 years ago.

	RE: NEW PST F9F PANTHER
		I have never really been a Panther/ Cougar fan but it is beginning to really attract me not least because the landing gear is installed in the fusleage which means it can travel on its wheels and assembly at the field will be dead simple, like the BobCat.
		Panther is availalble thru our current dealers so please contact them for more information.
		Panthers are in stock at PST Jets Thailand and available for those who need rush orders and willing to pay the extra airfreight cost which is, unfortunately, approx US$300-400 from Bangkok to the USA, Europe, or Australia.

		The Nene engine, now being produced under license by Pratt and Whitney as the J-42, proved to be so successful, that eventually all of the remaining F9F-3’s would be re-engined and re-designated F9F-2b, but not before the start of the Korean War.
		Although still not a match for the Mig-15 the F9F-5 Panthers would again succeed in downing a handful of the communist jets.
		They were assigned to the 1a Escuadrilla Aeronaval de Ataque as part of the 2a Escuadra Aeronaval based at BAN Commandante Espora in Puerto Belgrano, where they were only used as land-based aircraft, since the catapult of the ARA Independencia light carrier was not powerful enough to launch the F9F-2.
