A BIG THANKS to Stephen Rudowski, NAES Safety Manager, who kept us abreast of plans for the F-11 at Lakehurst. After much debate, which included the possibility of it being used as a target on a target range, it was decided to refurbish the Tiger and put it at the Front Gate. NAES Lakehurst Air Department did a spectacular job of painting it up in Blue Angel colors, as you can readily see from these photos, taken by Wes Godwin of the Safety Office.

 

Stephen quipped, "The USAF was disappointed that they wouldn't get to bomb a Navy target."


This Grumman Tiger is pictured in front of hanger #1 at NAES Lakehurst, NJ before they repainted and move her to the front gate.

Note: This F11F-1 was flown by the Blue Angels. Tom Bispo (Blue Angel '64-'65)
