Blue Angels Grumman F 11 F 1 Tigers 1957
RARE footage of The Blue Angels in their Grumman F11s, which they flew from 1957, to 1969. Very fond memories of being at the Moffett Field Airshow in Sunnyvale, CA during the mid, late 60s as a young lad, and watching them perform, along with the Lockheed P3 Orions. The Tiger was a bit of a Dog compared to the F8 Crusader, and although flying with the Blues for many years, she did not last long as an operational fighter, being phased out of front line service by around 1961. However, the aircraft was used in the training command in south Texas, Beeville, Kingsville, until the late 1960s. Watch for F9F Cougars, F101s, F102s, TV2 Seastars as well Be sure to check my channel for the BEST in VINTAGE RARE airliner videos The Boxart Den World s largest display collection of FULLY RESTORED rare collectable model kit box art http:
