F-8 Crusader

375 Noah1995  8.4 years ago

My first upload and my best aircraft so far- a Vought F-8 Crusader in Vietnam era US Navy colors. Fully functional armament and can easily take off and land from the aircraft carriers- just use the excessive amount of airbrakes on landings. Realistic speed capabilities and very maneuverable and stable in sustained high-G dogfights as well. Enjoy!
