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 funny thing is its the last of the gun fighters yet you did'nt put any guns on it plus you copied the discription from google so you could get sued for copy right. But good plane though
Very accurate, and the variable incidence wings are a great polish!
