Crusader & ‘super’ – Crusader ;
Reply to Phantom II (“that guy” ?)/post 268/previous page;
I hate to be “that guy,” but that is not a Super Crusader. It’s just NASA’s F-8 test bed for the supercritical wing. The Super Crusader was known as the XF8U-3, and it was far more radical looking.
you’re right, Phantom II; my designation ‘super-Crusader’ was just my own quick & shortened version for “Super…wing” and Crusader š
in fact I didn’t think then of the other REAL Super-Crusader, & so discovered it ;
