F-8E F-8C F-8H F-8J F-8J (Late: IRST removed and additional ECM blisters on intake and tail fin) Around February 1972 four VF-211 F-8J were based out of Udorn Thailand to instruct frustrated USAF F-4 crews in air-combat maneuvering. The Crusaders flew strikes up North with the Phantoms , tanked and then would get some ACM practice in before recovering to Udorn. Even Robin Olds flew against these Navy pilots! The Air Force was embarrassed at their performance and in order to sabotage the program insisted that the F-8 Crusaders had to be temporary camouflaged. however this would have added 1200Ibs to the aircraft and was unacceptable. But what if?...

Sea trials after a long refit.

Looks pretty cool! I'm working in new highrez skins for the F-8E (FN) & F-8P.

F-8 pilot in the Navy/ USMC camouflage (WWII 'duck hunter') fatigues a lot of older F-8 pilots wore early on during the Vietnam war:

Great minds think alike! 😄 F-8C (66) Y-Racks

Pits for the early Fitters "17" made by Logan

The pilots like this one add a lot to the immersion facotr of this sim.

Why not use the F-8D.lod for the C. Remove the IRST in the data.ini and its very close, I guess.

Nice , nice, nice ........That is all.

The longest 2 weeks of all time!!!!

I also have single AIM-9 rail options for all the other F-8 Variants with Y-racks (D/E/J/H):

Love this WIP!

That's a beauty thing! Another beauty thing will be the possibilty of the dual rails also for the F-8C...
