On display at Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum. The lightweight Tiger was Grumman's first supersonic fighter. It was found to be underpowered by its Wright J65-W-6 engine, short on range and endurance. The F-11 served aboard carriers from 1956-61, equipping seven USN squadrons. It stayed on as a trainer and demo aircraft till 1969. Built in 1955, this short-nose Tiger served with Naval Air Test Center, Patuxent River. It was struck off charge on 23 Feb 1960. Previously displayed at Admiral Farragut Academy, FL, it is painted as a Blue Angels aircraft that flew the type from 1957-69.

The third from last of the 199 Tigers built for the USN. Not sure about the authenticity of the colours, but this aircraft did fly with the Blue Angels in the early 1960s and also VT-23 before being SOC at MCAS Cherry Point in 1964. Ironically, the museum's other Tiger, an early F9F-9 (redesignated F-11F-1 in 1955), is painted in Blue Angels colours despite not having been used by them.
