F-8 Crusader Documentary - The Last Gun Fighter - History Channel HD
The Vought F-8 Crusader (originally F8U) was a single-engine, supersonic, carrier-based air superiority jet airplane [2] built by Vought for the United States Navy as well as Marine Corps, changing the Vought F7U Cutlass, as well as for the French Navy. The initial F-8 prototype was ready for air travel in February 1955, as well as served primarily in the Vietnam War. The Crusader was the last American fighter with guns as the key tool, making it the title "The Last of the Gunfighters". [3]
The RF-8 Crusader was a photo-reconnaissance growth and also ran much longer in UNITED STATE service than any of the competitor versions. RF-8s played an essential role in the Cuban Rocket Dilemma, offering necessary low-level photographs impossible to obtain by various other ways. [3] UNITED STATE Naval Reserve systems continuouslied operate the RF-8 up until 1987.
In September 1952, the Usa Navy revealed a requirement for a brand-new fighter. It was to have a top speed of Mach 1.2 at 30,000 ft (9,144.0 m) with a climb price of 25,000 ft/min (127.0 m/s), and also a landing speed of no more than 100 mph (160 km/h). [4] Oriental War encounter had actually shown that 0.50 inch (12.7 mm) machine guns were no longer adequate and also as the result the brand-new fighter was to lug a 20 mm (0.79 in) cannon. In reaction, the Vought team led by John Russell Clark, produced the V-383. Uncommon for a boxer, the airplane had a high-mounted wing which required the use of a fuselage-mounted short and also light landing gear.
The most innovative facet of the style was the variable-incidence wing which pivoted by 7 ° from the body on launch and landing (not to be confused with variable-sweep wing). This paid for raised lift because of a better angle of assault without endangering forward visibility considering that the body remained degree. [3] [4] At the same time, the lift was boosted by leading-edge slats drooping by 25 ° as well as inboard flaps extending to 30 °. The remainder of the aircraft capitalized on modern aerodynamic technologies with location ruled body, all-moving stabilators, dog-tooth notching at the wing folds for enhanced yaw stability, and liberal usage of titanium in the airframe. Power originated from the Pratt & Whitney J57 afterburning turbojet. The weaponry, as defined by the Navy, consisted mainly of four 20 mm (.79 in) autocannon; the Crusader happened to be the last UNITED STATE competitor designed with guns as its primary weapon. [3] They were supplemented with a retracting tray with 32 unguided Mk 4/Mk 40 Folding-Fin Aerial Rocket (Mighty Mouse FFARs), as well as cheek pylons for 2 directed AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. [4] Vought additionally offered a tactical reconnaissance version of the aircraft called the V-382.
Significant competitors originated from the Grumman F-11 Tiger, the upgraded twin-engine McDonnell F3H Devil (which would ultimately become the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II), and lastly, the North American F-100 Super Sabre quickly adjusted to carrier use as well as dubbed the "Super Fury".

The Crusader became the ultimate "day fighter" operating off the aircraft carriers. At the time, U.S. Navy carrier air wings had gone through a series of day and night fighter aircraft due to rapid advances in engine and avionics. Some squadrons operated aircraft for very short periods before being equipped with a newer higher performance aircraft. The Crusader was the first post-Korean War aircraft to have a relatively long tenure with the fleet and like the USAF F-105, a contemporary design, might have stayed in service longer if not for the Vietnam war and resulting attrition from combat and operational losses.
The unarmed photo Crusader was operated aboard carriers as a detachment (Det) from either VFP-62 or VFP-63 to provide photo reconnaissance capability. During the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, RF-8s flew extremely hazardous low-level photo reconnaissance missions over Cuba.
The Crusader was not an easy aircraft to fly, and often unforgiving in carrier landings where it suffered from yaw instability and the castoring nose wheel. Not surprisingly, the mishap rate was relatively high compared to its contemporaries, the A-4 Skyhawk and the F-4 Phantom II. However, the aircraft did possess some amazing capabilities, as proven when several hapless Crusader pilots took off from Da Nang with the wings folded. The Crusader was capable of flying in this state, though the pilot would be required to lose weight by ejecting stores and fuel, and then return to the carrier.
When conflict erupted in the skies over North Vietnam, it was U.S. Navy Crusaders that first tangled with VPAF MiGs in April 1965. Although the MiGs claimed the downing of a Crusader, all aircraft returned safely. At the time, the Crusader was the best dogfighter the United States had against the nimble North Vietnamese MiGs. The Navy had evolved its "night fighter" role in the air wing to an all-weather interceptor, the F-4 Phantom II, equipped to engage incoming bombers at long range with missiles such as Sparrow as their sole air-to-air weapons, and maneuverability was not emphasized in their design. Some experts believed that the era of the dogfight was over as air-to-air missiles would knock down adversaries well before they could get close enough to engage in dogfighting. As aerial combat ensued over North Vietnam from 1965 to 1968, it became apparent that the dogfight was not over and the F-8 Crusader and a community trained to prevail in air-to-air combat was a key ingredient to success.
Despite the "last gunfighter" moniker, the F-8s achieved only four victories with their cannon — the remainder were accomplished with AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles, partly due to the propensity of the Colt Mark 12 cannons' feeding mechanism to jam under G-loading during high-speed dogfighting maneuvers. Nonetheless, the Crusader would be credited with the best kill ratio of any American type in the Vietnam War, 19:3. Of the 19 aircraft shot down, 16 were MiG-17s and three were MiG-21s.

Hey YT, my new Turbine Crusader is ready...It goes like hell and all works so perfect.
It´s same as the EDF version, Scale 1/8.
Weight is 9.0 kg without fuel (Tank is platypus hoser 2 + liters).
The hardest work on that thing was to get all the Turbine, Tank and electronic stuff right in the Fuse and have than also the right C of G! (^_^)
But I got it and it was a really good Idea, he fly so sweat and also now it has the right power weight ratio.
N-Joy the Mig Killer!

The initial F-8 prototype was ready for air travel in February 1955, as well as served primarily in the Vietnam War.

RF-8s played an essential role in the Cuban Rocket Dilemma, offering necessary low-level photographs impossible to obtain by various other ways. [3] UNITED STATE Naval Reserve systems continuouslied operate the RF-8 up until 1987.
In September 1952, the Usa Navy revealed a requirement for a brand-new fighter. It was to have a top speed of Mach 1.2 at 30,000 ft (9,144.0 m) with a climb price of 25,000 ft/min (127.0 m/s), and also a landing speed of no more than 100 mph (160 km/h). [4] Oriental War encounter had actually shown that 0.50 inch (12.7 mm) machine guns were no longer adequate and also as the result the brand-new fighter was to lug a 20 mm (0.79 in) cannon. In reaction, the Vought team led by John Russell Clark, produced the V-383. Uncommon for a boxer, the airplane had a high-mounted wing which required the use of a fuselage-mounted short and also light landing gear.
The most innovative facet of the style was the variable-incidence wing which pivoted by 7 ° from the body on launch and landing (not to be confused with variable-sweep wing). This paid for raised lift because of a better angle of assault without endangering forward visibility considering that the body remained degree. [3] [4] At the same time, the lift was boosted by leading-edge slats drooping by 25 ° as well as inboard flaps extending to 30 °. The remainder of the aircraft capitalized on modern aerodynamic technologies with location ruled body, all-moving stabilators, dog-tooth notching at the wing folds for enhanced yaw stability, and liberal usage of titanium in the airframe. Power originated from the Pratt & Whitney J57 afterburning turbojet. The weaponry, as defined by the Navy, consisted mainly of four 20 mm (.79 in) autocannon; the Crusader happened to be the last UNITED STATE competitor designed with guns as its primary weapon. [3] They were supplemented with a retracting tray with 32 unguided Mk 4/Mk 40 Folding-Fin Aerial Rocket (Mighty Mouse FFARs), as well as cheek pylons for 2 directed AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. [4] Vought additionally offered a tactical reconnaissance version of the aircraft called the V-382.
Significant competitors originated from the Grumman F-11 Tiger, the upgraded twin-engine McDonnell F3H Devil (which would ultimately become the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II), and lastly, the North American F-100 Super Sabre quickly adjusted to carrier use as well as dubbed the "Super Fury".

In reaction, the Vought team led by John Russell Clark, produced the V-383. Uncommon for a boxer, the airplane had a high-mounted wing which required the use of a fuselage-mounted short and also light landing gear.
The most innovative facet of the style was the variable-incidence wing which pivoted by 7 ° from the body on launch and landing (not to be confused with variable-sweep wing). This paid for raised lift because of a better angle of assault without endangering forward visibility considering that the body remained degree. [3] [4] At the same time, the lift was boosted by leading-edge slats drooping by 25 ° as well as inboard flaps extending to 30 °. The remainder of the aircraft capitalized on modern aerodynamic technologies with location ruled body, all-moving stabilators, dog-tooth notching at the wing folds for enhanced yaw stability, and liberal usage of titanium in the airframe. Power originated from the Pratt & Whitney J57 afterburning turbojet. The weaponry, as defined by the Navy, consisted mainly of four 20 mm (.79 in) autocannon; the Crusader happened to be the last UNITED STATE competitor designed with guns as its primary weapon. [3] They were supplemented with a retracting tray with 32 unguided Mk 4/Mk 40 Folding-Fin Aerial Rocket (Mighty Mouse FFARs), as well as cheek pylons for 2 directed AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. [4] Vought additionally offered a tactical reconnaissance version of the aircraft called the V-382.
Significant competitors originated from the Grumman F-11 Tiger, the upgraded twin-engine McDonnell F3H Devil (which would ultimately become the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II), and lastly, the North American F-100 Super Sabre quickly adjusted to carrier use as well as dubbed the "Super Fury".

The Vought F-8 Crusader was a single-engine, supersonic, carrier-based air superiority jet aircraft built by Vought for the United States Navy and Marine Corps, replacing the Vought F7U Cutlass, and for the French Navy. The first F-8 prototype was ready for flight in February 1955, and served principally in the Vietnam War. The Crusader was the last American fighter with guns as the primary weapon, earning it the title "The Last of the Gunfighters".
The RF-8 Crusader was a photo-reconnaissance development and operated longer in U.S. service than any of the fighter versions. RF-8s played a crucial role in the Cuban Missile Crisis, providing essential low-level photographs impossible to acquire by other means. U.S. Naval Reserve units continued to operate the RF-8 until 1987.

The Crusader became the ultimate "day fighter" operating off the aircraft carriers. At the time, U.S. Navy carrier air wings had gone through a series of day and night fighter aircraft due to rapid advances in engine and avionics. Some squadrons operated aircraft for very short periods before being equipped with a newer higher performance aircraft. The Crusader was the first post-Korean War aircraft to have a relatively long tenure with the fleet and like the USAF F-105, a contemporary design, might have stayed in service longer if not for the Vietnam war and resulting attrition from combat and operational losses.
The unarmed photo Crusader was operated aboard carriers as a detachment (Det) from either VFP-62 or VFP-63 to provide photo reconnaissance capability. During the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, RF-8s flew extremely hazardous low-level photo reconnaissance missions over Cuba.
The Crusader was not an easy aircraft to fly, and often unforgiving in carrier landings where it suffered from yaw instability and the castoring nose wheel. Not surprisingly, the mishap rate was relatively high compared to its contemporaries, the A-4 Skyhawk and the F-4 Phantom II. However, the aircraft did possess some amazing capabilities, as proven when several hapless Crusader pilots took off from Da Nang with the wings folded. The Crusader was capable of flying in this state, though the pilot would be required to lose weight by ejecting stores and fuel, and then return to the carrier.
When conflict erupted in the skies over North Vietnam, it was U.S. Navy Crusaders that first tangled with VPAF MiGs in April 1965. Although the MiGs claimed the downing of a Crusader, all aircraft returned safely. At the time, the Crusader was the best dogfighter the United States had against the nimble North Vietnamese MiGs. The Navy had evolved its "night fighter" role in the air wing to an all-weather interceptor, the F-4 Phantom II, equipped to engage incoming bombers at long range with missiles such as Sparrow as their sole air-to-air weapons, and maneuverability was not emphasized in their design. Some experts believed that the era of the dogfight was over as air-to-air missiles would knock down adversaries well before they could get close enough to engage in dogfighting. As aerial combat ensued over North Vietnam from 1965 to 1968, it became apparent that the dogfight was not over and the F-8 Crusader and a community trained to prevail in air-to-air combat was a key ingredient to success.
Despite the "last gunfighter" moniker, the F-8s achieved only four victories with their cannon — the remainder were accomplished with AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles, partly due to the propensity of the Colt Mark 12 cannons' feeding mechanism to jam under G-loading during high-speed dogfighting maneuvers. Nonetheless, the Crusader would be credited with the best kill ratio of any American type in the Vietnam War, 19:3. Of the 19 aircraft shot down, 16 were MiG-17s and three were MiG-21s.
