Tiger’s Blue Angels Link
The U.S. Grumman F11F Tiger fighter did not achieve the operational success the Navy had hoped for, owing to its limited range, engine reliability problems, and the arrival of newer aircraft. A total of 199 were built, and they had left carrier service by 1961. The Tiger nevertheless became widely known through the Blue Angels, who flew it for 12 seasons, from 1957 through the end of the 1968 season. It was the team’s first supersonic aircraft. A developed version, the Super Tiger, exceeded Mach 2 and set an altitude record of 76,828.8 feet in 1958, but was never adopted for naval service.
