The first flight of the Grumman F7F Tigercat was on this day, November 2, 1943. It missed WWII by a matter of hours for frontline service but was one of the fastest fighters of the era. It had its day in the Korean War before quickly becoming obsolete with the onset of more powerful jet engines.

…WARBIRDS. THE GRUMMAN F7F TIGERCAT. Not an easy aircraft to climb into as I learned. Makes you appreciate that generation a bit more. The National Museum of WWII Aviation located in Colorado Springs has TWO! Rumor has it there are only 8 airworthy Tigercats left? Special thanks to my dearest friend @scottklaers for allowing me such a privilege. 🫶 For my friend “King Nick#3” who loves cats 😂 & has helped me tremendously with my recent training. 🙌 #pilot #aviation #airplane #aircraft #warbird

The Grumman F7F Tigercat is a heavy fighter aircraft that served with the United States Navy (USN) and United States Marine Corps (USMC) from late in World War II until 1954. It was the first twin-engine fighter to be deployed by the USN. While the Tigercat was delivered too late to see combat in World War II, it saw action as a night fighter and attack aircraft during the Korean War. #Repost @acepilotaviation (TikTok: internalcombust) #aviation #aviationenthusiast #avgeeks #aviationnerds #aviat
