EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Grumman G-79 XF9F-2 Panther 122477, the third prototype of the F9F and the second XF9F-2, at the Naval Air Test Centre in Patuxent River, Maryland. Powered by a Rolls-Royce Nene turbojet engine, this Panther taxis for take-off, its tires screeching against the runway. First flown on November 26, 1947, this aircraft marked a significant milestone in aviation history. However, on October 28, 1948, during testing at NAS Patuxent River, the tail of 122477 was torn off during an arrested landing. It is worth noting that the second F9F was completed as the XF9F-3, powered by an Allison J33-A-8 engine instead. The Grumman G-79 XF9F-2 Panther 122477 is an emblematic representation of the early days of jet aviation, a time of innovation, experimentation, and the relentless pursuit of progress in aeronautical engineering. This image, from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the courage and determination of the pioneers who shaped the future of flight.
