Very cool pictures Ty Alan!

Very nice selection of photos. I was surprised you didn't post any French Navy F-8s; they actually served longer (until 1999!) than the ones in the USN (1976).

Thanks for the compliments, the reason I did not add the French birds, is there is enough references on the web all ready, & I think they have already been skinned.(plus there a bit bland!!)
The above compilation comes from the U.S.Navy's archive & I have not seen these before.
That's my excuse.
Regards Alan

I never knew Crusaders served with the Philippine Air Force


In late 1977, the Philippine government purchased 35 secondhand U.S. Navy F-8Hs that were stored at Davis-Monthan AFB in Arizona.Twenty-five of them were refurbished by Vought and the remaining 10 were used for spare parts. As part of the deal, the U.S. would train Philippine pilots in using the TF-8A. They were mostly used for intercepting Soviet bombers. The F-8s were grounded in 1988 and were finally withdrawn from service in 1991 after they were badly damaged by the Mount Pinatubo eruption, and have since been offered for sale as scrap.

I must admit that the markings of the us navy were much sexy !
