Historical Context
The Grumman F9F Cougar was the swept-wing development of the straight-wing F9F Panther, retaining the family designation while introducing a substantially different wing. Entering US Navy service in 1952, the Cougar became part of the transition to swept-wing naval aviation and later served in advanced training roles.
