“If you were in excess of 450 knots, it takes Arnold Schwarzenegger to turn the airplane.” 😆
Spanish translation please gentlemen of history
In 70′ I became interested in military aircraft, and still were a lot of people very angry and dissapointed with the F 8’s withdrawal
Crazy and usa still lost
Crazy
The lights are much brighter there, you can forget all your troubles, forget all all your cares, so go DOWNTOWN things will be great when your DOWNTOWN no finer place for sure DOWNTOWN everything’s waiting for you!
For the F‑8 vs MiG-17 dogfight… Sun Tzu says, “it’s more important to outthink your enemy than to outfight him.”
Rods from God
This was one ugly but incredibly capable aircraft. This is also an example of why less dominant, monopolistic manufacturers can do better than Lockheed Martin
Wasnt a crusader pilot the sole casualty of the Cuban missile crisis?
I believe the NAVY should recommission the F‑8 and convert it to a bomber, because it looks like B‑52 but only smaller. So why not? “F‑8B Crusader 2”, fitting name if the NAVY adopts a carrier based low flying bomber fleet for extensive combat advantages, as well as range and sizable payload. Even through we have stealth naval aircraft and I’m hope for a new F‑22 styled fighter adopted into the ranks, but a new bomber designed F‑8 would be perfect in performing extended AG roles where FA-18s and F‑35Cs are limited due to their payloads.
This is why I love watching dog fights on the history channel because it’s real life aviators from all wars
And it reminds me of ace combat franchises from yellow 13 and solo wing pixy
And my favorite aircraft carrier is USS kitty hawk CV-63
Love this pilot
Shalom dove 🕊️ of peace ☮️
Best aircraft show ever it really places you in the cockpit
When I saw the brief glimpes of the AA guns in Hanoi, my mind’s eye again saw Jane Fonda, sitting in the gunner’s seat wearing her North Vietnamese Army pith helmet, grinning from ear to ear, as if she was imagining shooting down one of her own country’s planes, killing or dooming to torture, the pilot. It is a black mark on the US that she was not tried for tre*son and h*ng*d. There is no statute of limitations for tr*ason. I would like to see that black mark erased.
VF-154 the Black knights from coral sea lost the very first crusader in combat in 65!!
even marine F‑8 sqd VMFA 235 Death angles also had a mig kill in the late 60’s as well only marine sqd to have one
Rodger that.
ALOT of Migs were flown by Russian pilots
Its like a requirement to constantly point out the f‑4 had no guns.
well for starters I totally and completely agree bring this show back please.. but for me I like the P‑51 mustang or the F‑14 tomcat the P‑51 is a legend and the F‑14 in it’s day was one of the best.. but please bring back this show
I’d like to see new episodes on the S3 Viking sub hunting or the EA6 Prowler electronic warfare 🇺🇸👍🏽
A ‑4 skyhawk excellent aircraft
I think the r‑8 was better than the f‑4 in a dog fight.see it with my own eyes on the indy.
wins a 10 minute long dogfight with no guns or missiles.
WTF HAPPENED, that time when the fighter was larger than the Bomber. Wowwee
When our squadron deployed aboard a Naval carrier, U.S.S. Coral Sea (CVA-43) on 11/’71 for a westpac cruise, we had an F8 Crusader aboard our ship but it was used in a photo reconnaissance role. Our squadron, Marine All Weather Attack Squadron 224, flew the A‑6A’s and B’s, KA-6D tankers and EA-6B Prowler. There we were in the Gulf of Tonkin with the 7th Fleet. We were there for Rolling Thunder I. Cheers from eastern TN
Thank You Gentlemen. 🇺🇸
Didn’t the Crusader have a terrible accident rate? And hard to come aboard a carrier?
That “barrel roll” was really a. high yo-yo.
F6
F‑8 was a thoroughbred plain and simple.
some of those mig pilots were probably from China.
May 19, 1967 12 days before I was born
orisknay had the last ever crusaders in 75–76
