!!! https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/Jb843Q/F-8H-Crusader-Fixed - This is the corrected version (Fixed "U.S. Air force" inscription on "NAVY". The rest is just like the first version.) !!!
Vought F-8 Crusader (originally F8U) is a single-engine, supersonic, carrier-based air superiority built by Vought for the United States Navy and Marine Corps, and for the French Navy. The first F-8 was ready for flight in February 1955. The F-8 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 most innovative aspect of the design was the variable-incidence wing which pivoted by 7° out of the fuselage on takeoff and landing (not to be confused with variable-sweep wing). This allowed a greater angle of attack, increasing lift without compromising forward visibility.

@KferoxL yay.
@ChiChiWerx So I added them.
Interesting build, the F-8 was known as “The Last of the Gunfighters” and, in U.S. Navy service, pretty much exclusively an air to air fighter. So it’s interesting you’d put the rocket pods on it, though it does give it some air to ground capability in SP world.
Happy building, thanks for the changes@KferoxL
@Tang0five @Bearclaw189 https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/Jb843Q/F-8H-Crusader-Fixed - This is the corrected version. I will be more attentive from now on))
@Tang0five @Bearclaw189 okay i will redo the inscription on navy or marine🕡🌠
This is a good replica, it looks nice and flies well. Keep up the good work. I can see you making builds that are on the same or even higher quality then this.
Great build, trim seems upside down and she’s a handful to land. Nice attention to detail but research your build as rightly stated below it wasn’t operated by the US Air Force. If anything the lettering for ‘navy’ is a damn sight easier than ‘US air force’!
@Bearclaw189 you're right, I made it so that there was no empty space
Looks great! Nice!

It’s a nice plane, unfortunately however it says US Airforce, who never operated the plane. Non the less great plane
My favorite Vietnam War jet!
I saw this plane on google yesterday and wondered if it would be a good build.
@KferoxL I like this plane, alot
@ACEPILOT109 glad trying👍😉
oh yeah variable incidence (you nailed the explanation for it)
I love the wing thing, forgot what they call it but great that yuou have it! this needs to get featured!
