Grumman F9F-8 Cougar

History:
The Grumman F9F/F-9 Cougar was a carrier-based fighter aircraft for the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps. Based on Grumman's earlier F9F Panther, the Cougar replaced the Panther's straight wing with a more modern swept wing.


Thrust was also increased with the installation of a newer, more powerful engine. The Navy considered the Cougar an updated version of the Panther, despite having a different official name, and thus Cougars started off from F9F-6

CONTROLS:
AG1: hook
AG2: navigation lights
AG3: Airbrake
AG4: fold / unfold wings
AG5: missiles
AG6: drop tanks
