Chance/Vought XF5U-1

2,338 HakkeAirTech  8.4 years ago

Developed during and after world war 2, this plane had an absurdly strong airframe. After development was canceled a wrecking ball had to be used to dismantle the plane. It has jet engines, yes. Should you ever turn them on? No.

    Well, isn't this embarrassing? It's a Chance/Vought, not a Grumman. And I was so sure...
    I had to clear that up.
