První let Pantheru se uskutečnil 21. listopadu 1947 a byl to vpodstatě nechtěný skok při pojížděcích zkouškách.


Díky vysoké přistávací rychlosti Pantherů získalo US Navy řadu zkušeností pro další provoz palubních proudových strojů.


První úspěch v boji proudových letounů získaly Panthery pro US Navy 9. listopadu 1950 sestřelením MiGu-15


Jediným zahraničním odběratelem F9F bylo argentinské letectvo které v roce 1958 koupilo 24 strojů Panther
