mah second upload of first generation Jet fighters, I love the design of first generation fighters and i am thinking of uploading 2 or 3 more, so if you guys want to request what first gen jet fighter i should build, just leave em in the comments.
ps+ the plane is unarmed so put em on if you wish to do so.
Wiki : The Grumman F9F Panther was the manufacturer's first jet fighter and one of the United States Navy's first successful carrier-based jet fighters. A single-engined, straight-winged day fighter, it was fitted with an armament of four 20 mm (0.79 in) cannons and could carry a wide assortment of air-to-ground munitions.
The Panther was used extensively by the U.S. Navy and the United States Marine Corps in the Korean War. It was also the first jet aircraft used by the Blue Angels flight team, being used by them from 1949 through to late 1954. The aircraft was exported to Argentina and was the first jet used by the Argentine Naval Aviation.
Total F9F production was 1,382. The design evolved into the swept wing Grumman F-9 Cougar.
Credits to : @Thealban for his roundels
@AgDynamics for his alphabet and numbers!
note : I didn't put enough fuel for the plane, so you might want to put some fuel in the middle fuselage.
This is the first plane i upload to have trims installed, so use VTOL to adjust the trim in flight and landing. enjoy!!

add wieght to the front i did that and it flew amazing
Thats More Of A Banshee Than A Panther?
An article in Air&Space Magazine made me find this. I put the proper guns(XML) on it and six rockets.
I read a story about this plane. During the Korean War, there was a Navy pilot who shot down four MiG-15s with it. He said the bullet holes in his plane added up to two-hundred-something.
