Dont you mean the F3H Demon? (not the F3U...)

It had a very checkered history of engine failures with its initially failed J-40 engine (F3H-1N ), which was replaced by a near equally troublesome J-71 engine (F3H-2N) early in development...

Until 1962...

On September 18, 1962, the US Department of Defense combined all Air Force and Navy aircraft designations into the existing Air Force system. A new F-for-fighter series was begun, and Navy and Marine Corps fighters were redesignated to fit in with the new system. The F3H was redesignated F-3B/C. The designation F-3A was never assigned, probably being a reflection of the unfortunate F3H-1N which never entered service.

However, about the self shootdown... You thought wrong... Laughing

So are you going to take a guess and vote? Razz

Aside from the F-14s we gave the Iranians back in the days of yore, The Skyraider seems like a plane we'd sell to other countries that we might have wound up fighting later on...

Unless of course you count using old grumman planes as target practice. Razz

Very Happy

this is quite possibly one of the best poll questions. Laughing

By the way, what with the F-designation discussion a few posts up, I've always wondered why they gave the Nighthawk the F-117 designation. Isn't it more of a B or F?

The F-117 was designated a fighter for 2 reasons...

To mislead foreign espionage and to keep the aircraft from being counted as a bomber...

And yes this is a good poll, and a tricky one to! So be careful! Razz

I vote for the F-8 Crusader.

My reasoning? It must have shot itself down either with guns or
sidewinder missile; so it had to be pretty fast to outrun its own
amunitions....

Hence the F-8 Crusader.

Just my undervaluated (or is it??) Canadian 2-cents.
