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?


Just to add another question, how did it compare to the EE Lightning
which was known as a pretty good interceptor performance wise?


The F4D was a transonic carrier based design.
The Lightning was definitely supersonic and not carrier capable.
