description: # from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vought_F-8_Crusader
|
|
The Vought F-8 Crusader (originally F8U) is a single-engine, supersonic,
|
|
carrier-based air superiority jet aircraft designed and produced by the American
|
|
aircraft manufacturer Vought. It was the last American fighter that had guns as
|
|
the primary weapon, earning it the title "The Last of the Gunfighters".
|
|
On 21 August 1956, U.S. Navy pilot R.W. Windsor attained a top speed of 1,015 mph;
|
|
in doing so, the F-8 became the first jet fighter in American service to reach
|
|
1,000 mph.
|
|
During March 1957, the F-8 was introduced into regular operations with the US Navy.
|
|
In addition to the Navy, the type was also operated by the United States Marine Corps
|
|
(replacing the Vought F7U Cutlass), the French Navy, and the Philippine Air Force.
|
|
Early on, the type experienced an above-average mishap rate, being somewhat difficult
|
|
to pilot. American F-8s saw active combat during the Vietnam War, engaging in multiple
|
|
dogfights with MiG-17s of the Vietnam People's Air Force as well as performing ground
|
|
attack missions in the theatre.
