F9F Cougar (Blue Angels) History:

The F9F Cougar is a fighter aircraft manufactured by Grumman, based on the earlier F9F Panther.  The primary users and operators of the F9F Cougar are the United States Navy, United States Marine Corps and the Argentine Navy.

The Blue Angels were officially recommissioned on October 25, 1951, and reported to NAS Corpus Christi, Texas. Lt. Cdr. Voris was again tasked with assembling the flight team (he was the first of only two commanding officers to lead the group twice). By the end of the 1940s, the Blue Angels were flying their first jet aircraft, the Grumman F9F-2 Panther, but now would be utilizing the newer and faster version of the Panther, the F9F-5. The Blue Angels remained in Corpus Christi until the winter of 1954, when they relocated to their present home at NAS Pensacola, Florida. It was here that they progressed to the swept-wing Grumman F9F-8 Cougar. The ensuing 20 years saw the Blue Angels transition to two more aircraft, the Grumman F11F-1 Tiger (1957) and the McDonnell Douglas F-4J Phantom II (1969), the only plane to be flown by both the "Blues" and the United States Air Force Thunderbirds.

The F9F Cougar has a crew of 1.  It has a maximum speed of 647 mph and a range of 1,312 mi.  It incorporates a Pratt & Whitney J48-P8A turbojet.
