Rearrangement of the left and right consoles and the main instrument panel to provide space for the controls associated with the additional equipment.

Some minor changes of the fuselage structure and equipment installations to provide for the necessary ducting control for hot air from the engine compressor, which is used for defrosting the camera windows and heating the camera compartment.

Re: Grumman F9F/F-9 Cougar
The Navy acquired 377 two-seat F9F-8T trainers between 1956 and 1960.
They were used for advanced training, weapons training and carrier training, and served until 1974.
They were armed with twin 20 mm (.79 in) cannon and could carry a full bombs or missiles load.
In the 1962 redesignation, these were called TF-9J.

The only version of the Cougar to see combat was the TF-9J trainer (until 1962, F9F-8T).
Four Cougars of H&MS-13 were used in the airborne command role, directing airstrikes against enemy positions in South
Vietnam during 1966 and 1967[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
