EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage photograph, a United States Navy Grumman F7F-2D Tigercat, serial number 80335, is seen parked at Miramar Naval Air Station in California. This particular Tigercat was originally built as an F7F-2N, but was later converted to an F7F-2D for the specific role of drone director and launch aircraft for the Globe KD2G target drones. The United States Navy's VU-3 squadron was responsible for operating these converted Tigercats. The F7F-2D featured a raised cockpit, which housed the drone director, while the radar operator sat in the position previously occupied by the navigator in the F7F-2N. The year was 1955 when this photograph was taken, marking a significant period in the development of naval aviation. The conversion of the F7F-2N to the F7F-2D allowed for more efficient and effective drone operations, contributing to the advancement of naval training and testing programs. The Grumman F7F Tigercat was a versatile carrier-based fighter aircraft, first entering service with the United States Navy in 1946. It was known for its powerful engines, heavy armament, and impressive performance. The Tigercat saw action in various conflicts, including the Korean War, and remained in service until the late 1950s. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history of the United States Navy's aviation capabilities during this era.
