Our Grumman F9F Panther restoration is underway! During the Korean War, it was used in strikes by both Navy and Marine squadrons and flew 78,000 sorties. A total of 1,382 F9Fs were built before evolving into the Grumman F-9 Cougar. The F9F was notably flown by future astronauts Neil Armstrong and John Glenn and by Boston Red Sox all-star Ted Williams. They were withdrawn from front-line service in 1956, and from Reserve service in 1958. Follow along to see her full restoration process! | Warhawk
