F-8 Crusader - The Last Gunfighter 2 Hoodie Sweatshirt

The F-8 Crusader, manufactured by Vought, is a legendary jet that served with distinction across the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. Known as 'The Last Gunfighter' due to its primary armament of four 20 mm cannons, the Crusader was a symbol of American air power from the late 1950s through the 1970s. It boasted an impressive top speed of over Mach 1.7, thanks to its powerful afterburning turbojet engine. The F-8 played a pivotal role in the Vietnam War, where its pilots achieved the highest kill ratio of any American type in air-to-air combat. Its innovative design featured a variable-incidence wing, which improved carrier landing performance, a critical advantage for naval operations. The Crusader's legacy is marked by its speed, firepower, and the bravery of its pilots, making it a revered aircraft in military aviation history.
