EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the United States Navy's Grumman F9F-8P Cougar, serial number 141701, fresh from the production line at Calverton in 1956. The image captures the pristine condition of the aircraft, adorned with the markings of VC-62 and the designation PL-51. The F9F-8P Cougar was a twin-engine, all-weather, long-range jet aircraft, primarily used for fleet defense and reconnaissance. This particular aircraft served with the United States Navy for nearly a decade before undergoing significant modifications and being transferred to the Naval Air Development Centre (NADC) in Johnsville, Pennsylvania, in 1964. The Cougar's tenure with the NADC was marked by extensive testing and evaluation, aimed at enhancing the aircraft's capabilities and extending its service life. After completing its duties at the NADC, 141701 was struck off charge at the Naval Air Station (NAS) Norfolk, Virginia, on 13 April 1965. This photograph is an intriguing snapshot of aviation history, offering a glimpse into the life cycle of a Cold War-era naval aircraft. From its inception at the Calverton production line to its service with VC-62, testing at the NADC, and eventual decommissioning, the United States Navy's Grumman F9F-8P Cougar 141701 played a vital role in the nation's aeronautical defenses.
