Original information:
The Vought F-8 Crusader was the first aircraft-based fighter designed in the 1950s to achieve supersonic capabilities. Thanks to its Pratt & Whitney jet engine with additional combustion, it was able to exceed the then maximum speed of Mach 1.8. He entered service in the late 1950s with US Navy and Marine Corps fighters to replace the obsolete Vought F7U Cutlass. The F-8 had a good service life and was routinely deployed by the United States until the Vietnam War. Armed with four 20mm cannons installed on the sides of a large front air intake, he could carry various loads of weapons. This capability provided him with a high degree of operational flexibility on missions using air-to-air missiles, missiles and bombs. Armed with cannons, unlike the more modern and advanced early versions of the rocket-loaded F-4 Phantom II, the pilots nicknamed the crusader "The Last of the Gunfighters." The aircraft was also used by a fighter squadron of the French Navy.
