Phil Air Force F-8H Crusader

---

In late 1977, the Philippine government purchased 35 secondhand U.S. Navy F-8Hs that were stored at Davis-Monthan AFB in Arizona.

Twenty-five of them were refurbished by Vought and the remaining 10 were used for spare parts. As part of the deal, the U.S. would

train Philippine pilots in using the TF-8A. They were mostly used for intercepting Soviet bombers. The F-8s were grounded in 1988

and were finally withdrawn from service in 1991 after they were badly damaged by the Mount Pinatubo eruption, and have since been

offered for sale as scrap.

 

Here a new skin with its historical decalset for our F-8 collection.
