McDonnell F3H-2N "Demon"-1956

If this video violates a copyright, PLEASE let me know FIRST, and I will remove it immediately.

Too cool! They're all here; Demons, Cutlass', Skyray, A-4 Skyhawk in early natural metal finish, the whole enchilada. :-)

AWESOME footage of many of the Navy's 1950s jet fighters & attack aircraft conducting carrier trials.

Does anybody know who the narrator is?

I think he’s the same one as in the McDonnell 220 Promo. I found some tapes with recorded stories at a swap meet some time ago, and I think they were read by this same narrator. He is/was pretty good. Somebody said this one sounds like John Forsythe, but it isn’t him.

F-7U Cutless,or "gutt-less" as it was know by thoes who flew it.

Nosewheel on the white line and everything.

@crotchboots For a film pushing that pane, in the end the real winner was the A-4, which is still serving in some countries!

@kblackav8or For a 50 year old design, they still are used by a few military's in the world. Argentina still flys them, even using them effectively in the Falklands war. They even have a carrier that they fly out of. The A-4 has really proven itself, as a good simple solid design will always have appeal for someone.

Again I think the F 3 looks like a 1950's version of the F 35 with its fat looking fuselage and stuby nose cone.

@Jhorak101 No it doesnt look anything like the F-35 and nobody will agree. they are both airplanes that are completely dissimilar

[kblackav8or]

The old engines really left a lot to be desired. A modern engine would would make any of these airplanes much more impressive then they ever were in their day. The Skyhawk is the only one that appears to really have adequate power. It could still be a useful plane.

looks ike a scimitar...don't you think?

[crotchboots]

the demon,what a dog. the only good thing that came from it was the f4 phantom
