Grumman F-11 Tiger |

|
During an air show NAS New Orleans, Belle Chasse, Louisiana in the 1960s. This F-11F Tiger was the number 6 aircraft and it flamed out on take off just as the gear went up. It bellied in on the runway and was left at the Naval Air Station where it was fixed up and used as the gate guard until a few years ago. It was replaced when they received the F-18A, BuNo 161726 that is currently on display. At that time this F-11F was moved to this site at the St John Airport. |

With the help of Bert Kemp (Blue Angel 1961-65), I was able to find this one. I still don't know the Bureau Number, as it was not painted on the aircraft. |
