Preserving and sharing the history of military aviation in Slaton, TX
Grumman F9F-8 Cougar
The F9F was an early carrier-based jet fighter, first introduced in 1952. It served in both the US Navy and Marines. The F9F on display is currently under heavy restoration work, and is currently stripped of paint. We will be repainting the aircraft in its original colors, and look forward to sharing the updates with you soon. The aircraft on display is on loan from theĀ National Naval Aviation Museum.
More information on this exhibit is in progress – thank you for your patience as we develop our site!
