USMC_GAU-21 Posted October 28, 2009 Share #53 Posted October 28, 2009 XF-91 "Thundercepter"......USAF Museum has a nice website. Basically a F-84 with twin gear and a very nice new radar. Here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobrahistorian Posted October 28, 2009 Share #54 Posted October 28, 2009 Hmmm... definitely a McDonnell product. My initial response was the XF3H-1 Demon, but I realized the intakes were wrong. That's an XF-88 Voodoo THIS is an XF3H-1 And good call on the XF-91. Most people don't get it with the radar nose. Hey Dan, I just realized you're in MD. You need to come on up to the museum!

USMC_GAU-21 Posted October 28, 2009 Share #55 Posted October 28, 2009 Whats the closet airport around you? I live on MD-50, but 2W6 is probably on your charts. As well as KNHK (Pax River). I used to fly up to Johnstown all the time as Lockheed Martin Aero Parts and Augustine Tool and Die did work on our NAVAIR weapons program. Used to fly out of Willow Grove/Johnstown USMC Res guys doing GAU-17/GAU-21 training! Would love to come up thanks! r/Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
