June 23, 1951, a Grumman F9F-5 Panther jet, piloted by Commander George Chamberlain Duncan, crashed and split in half during a landing attempt on the USS Midway, resulting in the forward fuselage section tumbling down the flight deck and the rear engine engulfed in flames. #military | MilitaryPhotoDepot

Our Grumman F9F Panther restoration is underway! During the Korean War, it was used in strikes by both Navy and Marine squadrons and flew 78,000 sorties. A total of 1,382 F9Fs were built before evolving into the Grumman F-9 Cougar. The F9F was notably flown by future astronauts Neil Armstrong and John Glenn and by Boston Red Sox all-star Ted Williams. They were withdrawn from front-line service in 1956, and from Reserve service in 1958. Follow along to see her full restoration process! | Warhawk
