    Constructed as a F11F-1.

    Taken on Strength/Charge with the United States Navy with BuNo 141803 and operated with these markings: Blue Angels #6.

    Vincent Caire, Airport Director: During an air show NAS New Orleans, Belle Chasse, Louisiana in the 1960s. This F-11F Tiger was the number 6 aircraft and it flamed out on take off just as the gear went up. It bellied in on the runway and was left at the Naval Air Station where it was fixed up and used as the gate guard until a few years ago. It was replaced when they received the F-18A, BuNo 161726 that is currently on display. At that time this F-11F was moved to this site at the St John Airport.

    To Saint John Airport, Reserve, LA.
