Nice pics!

I also love those XFV-12s 😀

Cheers 🙂

Dear Members,

The USN aviation community had high hopes for the XFV-12 even though many aviation engineers stated it could not fly. And it never did. Was one of the biggest embarrassments for the USN since the end of WW2. The XFV-12 was unique in an effort to save time and money part of the fuselage of the F-4 and A-4 cockpit were used.

Finally, the USN SCS designs were used as the bases for the one aircraft carrier that Spain built for its Harriers.
