I am also a fan of F-8 Crusaders, I was an ordnanceman with a VMF unit for a while in the '60s, much cleaner to work on than the old Sea Furies. They had to cycle that adjustable wing occasionally while taxi-ing around, with the pilot buttoned up, looked like some kind of primordial shark. My hearing is a bit impaired from too much time in the arming area, where they would take off from.
Note my avatar, VMF(AW) 235 death Angels carrying 500 pounders with daisy cutters, Da Nang I believe, bring memories?
