Thanks for the history! Great film with Panther's in it, The Bridges at Toko-Ri.

I worked at Grumman in the 1980s in structural design. My first boss was a guy who cut his teeth on the panther program. I was young and ignorant, but he recalled how he came up with a chin and sprocket system to extend the radome and access a new radar unit they were designing to mount. Im glad I finally learned more about the Panther.

Like them both. The F-9 Panther & the F-9 Cougar. Would be a dream to fly either one of them. Thanks for posting great stuff. These old films really do need a frame by frame digital restoration. Most are extremely blurry on these new flat screens.

Thanks for posting this I really enjoyed it very informative. Also it was nice not to hear a dry computer generated AI voice. Again, great job you earned a sub on this one.

It is noteworthy that the Panther was armed with four 20mm cannon as opposed to the Air Force's F-86 which used six .50 cal. machine guns.

We had one on static display in a park in Dumas, TX in the 60s and 70s. We crawled all over and all through it as kids. Don’t know what became of it. There’s an RF-4 in the park now.

Ted Williams flew one.

Why aren’t there examples still flying? The Panther is beautifully simple and robust.

Another fine American aircraft powered in production by a British engine. The J-42 (RR Nene) then from the -5, J-48 (RR Tay.)

MIG 15 was also powered by RR Nene.

In Mesa Arizona we had a F 9 in the Pioneer park. We would crawl through the engine exhaust into the engine bay. Great fun for a kid. Also there was an old train engine to play on. Back in the 60s 70s kids played on them all the time . Now you couldn't do that so sad.

I played on that panther too. I wonder what happened to it?

@kl0wnkiller912 10 ай бұрын

As a kid growing up in Vero Beach Florida in the 60s there was one in a park there too. we did the same thing, crawling in to the empty engine bay. I still remember the smell...

I played on that too, never got enough nerve to climb up on the tail. Great memories.

The cruiser was HELena, not heLAYna. The Panther had a tighter turn radius but the MiG had a better turn rate, and the Panther probably had a better roll rate. The Panther had arguably the best armament installation of any plane in the conflict. These Russian pilots were probably in their first combat.

@Completeaerogeek 10 ай бұрын

Hmmm The Meteor had 4 20mm cannon and the MiG 15 23mm + 30mm. The rate of roll would be reduced if there was any fuel in the tip tanks.

First U.S. jet on jet kills. Meteors shot down V1s in 1944.

@bobharrison7693 10 ай бұрын

No way the V-1 could have shot down a Meteor.

@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935 10 ай бұрын

@@bobharrison7693 Would you nit pick if V1s were landing around your house? 99% of KZfaq commentators do not realise that the V1 speed *_near sea level_* was a huge hurdle for fighter interception. They don’t know that the published piston engine fighter top speeds were up at altitudes where the piston engines were running the top supercharger revs at the full throttle height for the engine boost. Do you give credit to U.S. Navy pilots who shot down _kamikaze_ planes before they incinerated U.S. sailors?
