The Grumman F7F Tigercat is a heavy fighter aircraft that served with the United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) from late in World War II until 1954. It was the first twin-engine fighter to be deployed by the USN. While the Tigercat was delivered too late to see combat in World War II, it saw action as a night fighter and attack aircraft during the Korean War. #Repost @acepilotaviation (TikTok: internalcombust) #aviation #aviationenthusiast #avgeeks #aviationnerds #aviat

This supersonic Navy jet was flown from Intrepid in 1959 and 1960, and later served with the Blue Angels, the Navy's elite flight demonstration team. Get a close-up look at this incredible aircraft at the Intrepid Museum!  | Intrepid Museum | Facebook
