    As you can see by my name I love Grummans, so yeah, THANK YOU FOR THIS MASTERPIECE, I have always been interested in the f9f due to it being Grumman's first jet fighters and I think it deserves a lot more spotlight then it gets. Many salutes to you

    I would’ve been happy too, but you tagged me wrong so I didn’t get anything. There’s no dash in my username. Anyway, it looks and flies great @Diloph
