USS Lexington Museum Corpus Christi, Texas Grumman TF9J COUGAR BuNo 147276 painted as BuNo 142470 one of the two TF9J to serve the Blue Angels as Navy 7



After the Hurricane in 2007 the Museum is painting her and she going back to fleet colors.

Here's Navy 7 "the Coug" doing her job. The only difference is the refueling probe, which the training command took off. This aircraft is on the USS Lexington. It is the actual Cougar used by the Blue Angels during the "Tiger Era" from 1957-68.
