I’m sure there was a Crusader that was flown with folded wings, on purpose or not I don’t know anymore… I will try to locate my F-8 books and check things out.
Looking at the picture of the F-4, It,s not a NAVY bird its a F-4E or F-4F.. How often did they fold up their wings? Wich might explain the error, the pilot could have simply forgot about his “navalized” capabilities….
About 15 years ago taking a stroll in the Portugese town of Loule ( just North of Faro) my wife and I came across a small public green public park with good (and much needed) sun shade. My memory tells me we walked past the side of the municipal bus station and up some grand stone memorial steps to reach the park entrance.
Off to one side was a fenced off area with childrens play equipment and that included a gutted but otherwise complete F86 sitting amongst the trees.
Is it still there, I wonder?
You probably did see a G-91… That was reported in Loule at a playground. According to European W&R 3rd edition it was gone by 2001.
