Not a SLUF....... F-8 Crusader


Nope, it's a corsair. Note:

- the much fatter look;
- the 6 wing hardpoints;
- the lack of elevate center wing;
- the single cannon opening at the nose, right ride of photo.

And why do you think it is an F-8 Crusader? The Crusader only has one hard
point on each wing (http://www.vmf235.com/west-ordnance.jpg) not three.
There isn't any sigh of the "wing jack." Where are the cannons? The intake
is too small. Do I need to continue?

Then where are the guns? I don't recall F-8s having those hard points.
The intake does appear a little small though.

Mostly because of the smaller intake. Looking more closely I see the IFR
probe on the starboard side. It is possible that the wing incidence has not
been set yet.

The F-8 had:
- Sharper pointed radome
- Thinner intake lip
-Guns on the starboard side
-IFR probe that was covered by flush doors (not sitting in a recessed well)
-no wing pylons
-the AOA landing lights are in a different position
