The Douglas F4D Skyray had high performance in its day, holding several
time-to-climb records that were not broken until the Phantom II was built.
Was the Skyray ever flown in simulated air combat maneuvering against
other fighters? If so, how well did it perform?

Also held the absolute speed record briefly IIRC. It had a very low wing
loading and turned quite well.
