WRCRob Posted February 8 Posted February 8 (edited) With the coming straight deck carriers, it would be great to have examples of the early cold war jet fighters. Starting with low hanging fruit, it would be great to see the FJ-3M Fury. This was the ultimate slim fuselage naval sabre, with the 6-3 wing as an F-86F with sidewinder and cannon armament. The era of 1944-1960 is a fascinating time where many different design philosophies and interpretation of what the future held. Not a pounds video on the FJ2/3 https://youtu.be/xV-Q2WP3LbQ?si=_uTUR0PxSvpICjuf Edited February 8 by WRCRob Adding tags 3

Spino Posted February 10 Posted February 10 (edited) FJ-3 would not be much fun to dogfight with honestly. It's the Sabre that couldn't shoot straight (the gun fit was angled such that it would hit what the gunsight was pointing at only in a 3G turn). Have fun aiming! The FJ-3 wasn't even around for that long. Personally I'd rather have either an FJ-4B or an F9F, or maybe a Banshee.
