On display at Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum. The second-gen F9F-5 was the last of four Panther variants. It was powered by an uprated P&W J48-P-6A or -8 turbojet. The type had a lengthened fuselage ahead of the wing root and a taller tail. The air intakes were reshaped, with a wing fence added. The perforated speed brake and Aero 14A racks for 250-lb AN-M57 bombs or 5-in. rockets can be seen. A total of 616 were built, plus some F9F-4s brought up to -5 standard. Tail code 'L' represents CVG-7, which flew F9F-2s off CV-31 USS Bonne Homme Richard against Sui-ho Dam in the Korean War.

On display at Pima Air & Space Museum. This Cougar was built as an F9F-8 (G-99) and delivered to the USN on 21 Sep 1955. It changed to a F9F-8B with LABS in 1957 that was re-designated AF-9J. The aircraft was converted to a trainer and the designation changed to TAF-9J. It served with VT-23 "Professionals" at NAS Kingsville that used the type from 1965 for jet training and carrier qualification. The squadron was twice the recipient of the Top Jet Squadron Award in 1967 and 1970. This version led to production of the F9F-8T (G-105) trainer, only Cougar version to serve in the Vietnam War.

This Panther in fact is 123612, correctly marked as F9F-2. It was painted to represent 141099 in VF-81 Waldoman markings, which in fact was a F9F-8. VF-81 only very briefly operated the Panther, from February 1953 until April 1954. This aircraft has been guarding the NAS Oceana gate since 1984 and has been repainted several times in a new colourscheme wearing different unit markings and, as indicated, different serial numbers.
