The Navy's famed Blue Angels will soon be flying a new plane. They are trading in their well-known and dependable F9F Cougars for another and new Grumman "cat". The maintenance crew of the Angels spent a little over a week at the Peconic River plant, where they were checked out in maintaining and trouble-shooting their new plane, the F11F-1 Tiger. During that time, the Blue Angel leader, Cdr. Ed Holley, and members Ltjg. Bob Rasmussen, and Lts. Lefty Schwartz and Bruce Bagwell also visited the plant for a fast check-out. You can see from the expressions on the pilot's faces what they think of "riding a Tiger." They picked up the planes last month and soon will be seen in nation-wide flight demonstrations. |
