Grumman F-9 Cougar
The Grumman F9F-F-9 Cougar was an aircraft carrier-based fighter aircraft for the United States Navy. Based on the earlier Grumman F9F Panther the Cougar replaced the Panther's straight wing with a more modern swept wing. The Navy considered the Cougar an updated version of the Panther despite having a different official name and thus Cougars started off from F9F-6 upwards.
