Rupert Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I always thought that Delta Wing was the most attractive plane I ever saw when I was in the Crotch. Well posted Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macroburst Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Gotta love that air intake. The gunfighter has those cheeky AIM-9s- just a mean machine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhrogPhlyer Posted April 14, 2023 Author Share Posted April 14, 2023 During the Viet Nam period, the F-8 achieved a kill ratio of 19:3. F-8s downed 16 MiG-17s and 3 MiG-21s. Flying from smaller Essex-class carriers, the F-8 was used in fewer numbers than the larger F-4 Phantom II, which accumulated more kills. Always Aviate, then Navigate, then Communicate.
