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... So are you going to take a guess and vote? _________________ CAG Hotshot "FAF Shape Meister" Forum Administrator FAF/FA-2 Design team TSH Member/Developer -------- __@ ----- _`\<,_ ---- (*)/ (*) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sun Jul 6 13:57:44 2008 kaptor   Rank: Developer/Moderator Joined: 14 Aug 2004 Posts: 2638 Post subject: Yeah the F-3H.

Unless of course you count using old grumman planes as target practice. _________________ Radical_D "I write code so you don't have to."

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? _________________ FAF/FA-2 Beta Tester VNFAWING.com Duke's Desk Column Thu Jul 10 22:28:35 2008 CAG Hotshot   Rank: Admin, Site Owner, Developer, Webmaster Joined: 12 Aug 2004 Posts: 16261 Post subject: 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!

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.
