  • Duck under the intake...Duck under the intake.

    I spent 4 years working almost exclusively with A4s and F8s.

    F8s are, by far, the most interesting aircraft I have ever had first hand experience with.

    Your mini-me F8 is too cool for words.

    OH..wear ear protection.

    IRL the sound is not noise anymore...it's a physical thing.

    An F8 sitting on the catapult with the engine run all the way up is a force of nature...like lightning or an earthquake.

  • these things are SO LOUD in person, videos do not do them justice as to how realistic they actually sound.

  • @TechnicalFreak about 38lbs at 118.000rpm

  • How much lbs of thrust does that engine provide?

  • Don't you wear ear defenders over there?

  • jump on and make o turn around!..

  • nice project

  • @fourfortyroadrunner I was an AQ in VF-21 '80-83 (Phantoms, S and N PQS cert) and when we weren't on the Coral Sea we were in hangar 1, where a Crusader with a bailed out pilot crashed killing I think 8 10 years prior.

    Miramar's boneyard had the blue angels skyhawk that hit the runway inverted practicing the high speed close pass in '78, what a mess it was.

  • Where did u get the Model kit for this airplane ?....The F8 is one of my alltime favorites and id love to build a scale model
