EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the sleek and powerful form of a Grumman F-11A Tiger fighter jet stands proudly on display in a small, fenced area beside US Highway 17 in New Bern, North Carolina. The jet, identified as MSN 119 and bearing the tail number 141802, is a striking sight against the backdrop of the clear blue sky and the lush green foliage that surrounds it. The Grumman F-11 Tiger was a single-engine, all-weather interceptor aircraft that served in the United States Navy and Marine Corps from the late 1950s to the 1970s. Known for its distinctive swept-wing design and powerful Pratt & Whitney J57 engine, the F-11 was a formidable aircraft that could reach supersonic speeds and was equipped with advanced radar and weapons systems. This particular F-11A Tiger, 141802, was retired from active service and eventually found its way to New Bern, where it was preserved and put on display for all to see. The small, fenced area beside the highway is a testament to the community's appreciation for aviation history and the important role that the Grumman F-11 Tiger played in military aviation. The photograph captures the essence of the Tiger's raw power and beauty, as well as the sense of nostalgia and wonder that comes with seeing a historic aircraft up close. The image is a reminder of the rich aviation heritage that can be found in unexpected places, and the enduring allure of the open sky and the machines that soar above it. This photograph is part of The Tony Lovelock Collection, which features a wide range of aviation and aeronautical images from the past. The collection is available for licensing through Mary Evans Picture Library.
