(Wikipedia) The Grumman F11F/F-11 Tiger was a supersonic, single-seat carrier-based United States Navy fighter aircraft in operation during the 1950s and 1960s. Originally designated the F11F Tiger in April 1955 under the pre-1962 Navy designation system, it was redesignated as F-11 Tiger under the 1962 United States Tri-Service aircraft designation system. The F11F/F-11 was used by the Blue Angels flight team from 1957–1969. Grumman Aircraft Corporation made 200 Tigers, with the last aircraft being delivered to the U.S. Navy on 23 January 1959. The F-11 Tiger is noted for being the first jet aircraft to shoot itself down.[3] On 21 September 1956, during a test-firing of its 20 mm cannons, pilot Tom Attridge fired two bursts midway through a shallow dive. As the velocity and trajectory of the cannon rounds decayed, they ultimately crossed paths with the Tiger as it continued its descent, disabling it and forcing Attridge to crash-land the aircraft; he survived.

If it wasn't for the Fine Tuner mod that I installed, this plane wouldn't exist. I build on a crappy device so it's difficult to build and upload crafts. It's a simple build and has a mobile friendly part count. Sorry I couldn't put more details into this, I'm not that skilled at building. Anyways, be sure to upvote after you download it, it helps a bunch. Take care......

    Nice, but I would recommend dedicating a bit more time (a few minutes maybe) to shaping and detailing the plane, making it look realistic
