Product introduction:

From all the proposals, the new F-8 Crusader stood out and won the competition, it's maiden flight taking place on March 25th 1955.

In fact, the F-8 shot down 14 Mig-17s and 4 Mig-21s during the Vietnam war. The F-8J was the last upgrade of the F-8.The F-8J had a larger horizontal It received a system of flaps, which efficiently reduced the approach speed for carrier landings and the installation of the double-droop fullspan leading edge.
