    I dont think buying the Phantom was what killed British CVs………it was a political descision.

    When was the operation that the F-8’s carried the bombs? Or Mabey your talking about the A-7 Corsair?

    My dad flew A-7s for some 15 years with the Air Force/ Air Guard so I’m not going to confuse the two. But you simply CANNOT be making the claim that the F-8 was never used to tote bombs against ground targets, can you? Heres a hint…..if the Marines flew it, they were gonna hang bombs on it.

    Just thought I’d mention that F-8s did quite a bit of ground attack work in ‘Nam.

    You are right. Google Earth got me! I guess they havent updated in quite a while. The real kicker that did it was Enterprise being moored just out of frame to the left. Shes over there now be defueled. Dont know when she was over there befor but this must be YEARS old!

    I’v read that “Cava” was simply the code name for the program. Has there ever been anything about what the aircraft would have been called in service?
