Thank you simulloyd. Interesting observation. Never thought of in those terms but I can see it. I always thought the F-8 was one of the sleekest, meanest looking (shark mouth shape with or without the nose art) jets ever made, especially after being based on the same airfield with them for a couple years before that unit transitioned to F-4s. What a hoot to watch, and hear, them take off in pairs!

Cheers!
