- Following hot on the heels of the underwhelming F6 Pirate and the disastrous F7 Cutlass, Vought had a lot to prove with the F8 Crusader. Third time was the charm!

My father (rest his soul) brought me a kit set model of this aircraft when I was a child. It was my first model aircraft and we spent hours putting it together and painting it. I thought it was the most stupid looking aircraft I’d ever seen when I was young, but it’s means so much to me now. Anyway, I’m now a captain for Air
New Zealand, a flight instructor, an aerobatic pilot, and a seaplane pilot.
Today would have been my father’s 66th birthday, so thank you jingles for featuring this aircraft today, and thank you Dad for being being my dad and my inspiration. May you Rest In Peace.
Cheer's for you and respect to your dad!
Wonderful story
Thanks for sharing that.
I built the plastic kit as a child myself and dearly loved it.
The F100 was my favorite jet of that era but, the F8 a close second.
My Dad passed in 2010 and worked on AD's in the US Navy.
I was rebellious and went Army, ending up crewing CH47's.
I do miss our conversations but can still think back on the good ones we had.
I hope you can too.
The old Revell 1/72 model kit that has been around since the 60s ? Been there, done that. I always thought this was an ugly duck, but I've developed a spot for "unusual" looking aircraft.
@@ottovonbismarck2443 I was trying to remember who made the kit and it was either Revell or maybe AMT.
It's been a while since that happened.
At this point I don't know who has more dedication. Jingles for keeping up the same Star Citizen jokes every time he does a Warthunder video, or those poor people who send in Warthunder replays for the slim chance that they might be this years featured video. Good on ya either way.
he is just a boomer
He should do war thunder videos weekly,honest the reason i subscribed was because of the war thunder and museum visit content
You left out a whole class of people: those who play Warthunder to get a good enough game to send to Jingles in order to provoke him into making more Star Citizen jokes.
Here is the obligatory yearly warthunder video....
Damn, it's 2028 already?
@@ElementZephyr if Jingles is to be believed it is already 2057.... lol
@@chrinschbro It is 2077. Haven't you been following Jingles' exploits in Night City ;-P
@@stefanpajung113 i mean yeah but who am I to judge if our dear Overlord does have a time machine :P
The Mighty overlord Jingles called the joke ended. However he is still offering time traveled video rendering for war thunder
So far future jingles refuses to offer an explanation as to where future World of Warships or Tanks content has disappeared to.
The variable incidence wing is actually modelled in War Thunder and deploys with the landing flaps. The reason we didn't see it is because Creed didn't use landing flaps during the landing.
This
Either that or the replay system has issues with tracking the wing animation.
If I remember correctly, I chose not to because I had run out of fuel about 5-10km out from the runway and was gliding back
@@creedude2995 ah, so that's why it looked like the engines turned off... they did
Some Guy yeah, that match was the one that made me start taking an extra 10 minutes of fuel for the F8
Not actually Phly in the video, just a fan account mimicking the name. Phly’s current name is “PhlyDaddy” due to his incoming kid and dad-ness
He also doesn’t play War Thunder on Xbox
Missed opportunity to start this comment off with a " well,ackshually Jingles"
to be fair this replay could be a year old so it could still be but don't remember fly playing on a consol to
@@marcroelse9517 since the plane in question was added in the game less than week ago, I'm afraid it is not an old footage
i'm sorry, but your point is completely invalidated due to not starting with "actually jingles"
Fun fact, with the Zuni rockets, after firing the first 16 rockets out of 32, there was a high chance that the rack would not clear and leave a rocket still on fire, Quite dangerous.
I believe the term is "In-flight BBQ"
HI ASH!
Didn't expect to meet 2 favorite WT content creators here
didnt you upload a video on this plane a few days before this?
F8: shoots a Mig 19
Jingles: sees a Shenyang F-5 crash
Also Jingles: "What? That was a kill!"
Oh Jingles, you're old and crap, never change.
And he missed that the MiG-19 crashed when he went to land.
Dgwphotos that he did :D
every time jingles explains the history of a vehicle a angel gets its wings
I dont think this is one of those times
Only this time they're Crusader's wings, and they're folded.
K think this really paints the end of Jingles history buffness at least for the usn = 1955
Ahh, nothing like a Jingles video where he waxes on about the history of the vehicle in question for half the video.
I really missed it actually. Was one of my favorite things from the old War Thunder Vids and World of tanks reviews
That's not Phlydaily, he hasn't used the in game name Phlydaily is a while now
eh he might have that battle on his channel as well, ya never know.
and phly is not on console
I think he has in the last couple videos.
@@Melrieoi theres a glitch in replays where the first ^ in squadron tags show up as the controller
@@lilac_witch odd
That whole battle reminded me of a crusader pilot who engaged multiple migs alone for 10 minutes and survived.
I remember seeing that very Battle on Dogfights years ago
@@treyjordan3168 That episode is on RUclips now.
Plane: maneuver kills itself.
Jingles: It was so badly damaged it couldn't pull up.
No, that's what War Thunder is like.
Jingles: The plane's elevator was disabled in a dive, it'll crash. Wait, no, it's recovered.
Yes, that's what War Thunder is like.
The plane that crashed seven minutes in was the undamaged Shenyang F-5, not the Mig
Well, I do believe it was just plain ol´CFIT.
They fixed that with IXWA strike. Now if you get a critical hit on an aircraft you will be credited with an assist or a kill if the player leaves the match no matter how long ago you shot them or what the critical hit was. And the warthunder control surfaces have various levels of damage that inhibit maneuverability. So you can get a damaged enemy tail without having completely destroyed the tail or the tail controll.
credit to that dude, to avoid the crash, while diving with no elevator, he probably rolled and used the rudder to pull up. Snappy stuff
War Thunder: Last of the 2021 uploads
There goes my chances of getting a half-decent replay sent in!
@@Xiphactinus yo never know he has made exceptions in the past, you’ve just gotta have a really good game
@@activecamoflage6649 that's the problem, I'm downright average!
@@Xiphactinus being Average doesn’t mean you can’t have good games. I was below average back when I played but that didn’t prevent brilliant games from occurring. I’m betting that the player who provided this replay thinks he’s pretty average too
@@activecamoflage6649 I guess I should just keep on going.
Thanks for showing my replay! Personally, I think the F8 is currently the best gunfighter in the game amongst top tier jets. It is an absolute dream of a fighter. And in regards to the shenyang that hi-fived the gophers, I knew he was there and made sure to keep my eye on him the best I could. Which ultimately led to me sticking to the trees so as to bait the F-5 into a high speed dive that he wouldn’t be able to pull out of.
Nice flying ace!
There was an old saying about this old bird "If you're out of F-8's you're out of Fighters."
F-8 was a worse fighter than the phantom, it turned WORSE at low altitude and its guns were its last resort. Only two gun kills out of 18 total.
*watches as the guy just downs several planes in a row* "when did we switch into Ace combat?
If only they could sell skill like this in the in-game shop...
And *without* practically unlimited missiles...
*Stonehenge Offensive starts playing*
This twisted game needs to be reset.
When Gaijin added the F8U ;D
Dear, Future Generations
Year 27 of the Covid-32 quarantine.
Jingles just released a warthunder video...
....None of us can remember what this means.
Please send snacks.
🎩👌
Nah, I think jingles would pull the ultimate jingles move by then. Just forget to upload certain videos all together
I mean. . . the gnome lord would never forget something so trivial *please don't send me deeper in the mines*
I don't even play War Thunder and I wish you would do more of these video's...
The wings can infact pivot in game, this guy just never used it for whatever reason
@Cipheiz a few times actually. I'm pretty sure he was aware of how fast his aircraft ran out of fuel, and was trying to conserve it
cupcake kitten exactly the case ^_^
Glad to see I’m early for the annual war thunder video
Oh, it's that time of year.
Damn, the sound that Shenyang made when it hit the ground gave me 9/11 flashbacks
My old high school physics teacher flew the Crusader in Vietnam in a Wild Weasel role.
I swear the man came out the womb with a cigarette and aviator glasses riding a jet engine.
We would get him off on tangents regularly but I discovered even mentioning the Crusader would ensure an entire class period was filled with tales of glory, valor, and playing chicken with telephone poles.
We visited an air museum (class related) where there happened to be a Crusader on full display and he proceed with the most in depth walkaround presentation of the aircraft that I might have been brainwashed into loving it almost as much as he did.
Loved the old Crusader. My dad worked on the F8E while attached to his squadron... VF-194. One of the reasons the F8 didn't get more kills with guns is because its guns were very prone to jamming during high g-loads. Can't kill anything when you're guns are jammed. But, yes the pilots loved the F8. it was a dream to fly but a beast to land. "When you're out of F8s, you're out of fighters."
Yeah that's not the real PhlyDaily. Not to sound rude, but Phly's IGL currently is PhlyDaddy, and he plays on PC not console.
*Gets shot by a Webley*
In other news, you'll be happy to know that the variable incidence wing of the Crusader is modelled, our pilot today just didn't use landing flaps.
Hi Jingles I was in VF-111 F-8 squadron between 1965-67. On my first Vietnam cruise as a plane captain my aircraft was partially disabled by a SAM over the North and lost hydraulic power. The backup system was an air generator which folded out of the fuselage to pump air into the hydraulic lines. This could only provide enough pressure to deploy the landing gear, tail hook & move flight controls very stiffly. It did not provide enough pressure to engage the wing cylinder to raise it into landing position. The pilot had to land the F8 at what they said was 210 knots which he did but barely. The nose gear was only one foot from going over the end of the angle deck. Catching the last cable didn't help the matters either. Yes, the pilots loved the Crusader.
this is a once in a year chance to watch a jingles warthunder episode my mans
“Babe wake up! Jingles posted the yearly War Thunder video!”
Still subbed for this content specifically. You should do more long-form history-centric videos
I wish you’d do more of these, jingles :). As an aviation nerd, I’m a little sad that the ship and tank games get more attention in general 😅
Yay!!! Finally another War Thunder video. I really missed these. Can you do more please Jingles. Your historical information videos are the best every.
sure he will, just wait another year
Cheesus H. Crust, that was one hell of a master class
Thanks
One more Warthunder video and I get my pension! 😂
Implying that you're retiring next to your, I assume?
I’ve lost count of what year it is.
Edit: But I enjoyed the video.
2057 ;) if Jingles is to be believed
these are like my fav jingles videos i would happily listen to him talk about aircraft and tanks and other millatary stuff all day long
Like the warthunder videos, cause they are packed with technical details and informations about the aircraft. Wish you would do them more. I honor you, cause they surely take a lot of time to make!
Excellent commentary as always Jingles. As a kid growing up, I've always been an avid reader of military history and aviation books. The background info you provide to all of your videos is why I follow you. I haven't seen fail corner in years, so I'll have to take what I can get.
If you're interested in some additional USAF aviation history, I strongly recommend "Boyd : The Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War
" by Robert Coram. Boyd was the type of individual you kept away from customers, but his insights and engineering skills were startlingly clear. Back in the early 80's, I worked for Hughes Missile Systems Group, the USSR was still very much alive, and F anything was important to me. This book shows the beginning of the F15 and F16 a/c development and the mindsets that went into them. Very eye opening....
Great driver in an absolute legend. The F-8 predates my naval aviation experience but I worked with many who maintained and drove that fighter.
0:01 what is this ancient war thunder music from the pre-2020 era
Even though it was over shadowed by the real star of the movie, the F-14 Tomcat. We do see a few F-8 Crusaders in the opening and while Danger Zone is playing in Top Gun.
We also see one landing before the movie changes view from the carrier's landing deck to the ship's C.I.C.
F7 u cutlass was nicknamed the gutless in us navy service and the a4 Skyhawk was such a good bomb truck that the us navy top gun school used them in it’s fighter training units
Excellent video, Jingles. I have seen pictures and videos of the F8 with it's wings tilted up...never knew until now why...thanks!
Yay, it's that time of the decade again
I've missed these historical factoid kinda videos. Fascinating stuff
A War Thunder video a year, makes a "Salt-miner" cheer!! 👍😁🤣🤣
I here that start up tune and all I have in my memory is @The Mighty Jingles playing a Beaufighter in Arcade , Oh those were the days ............
Ill never forget that MIG-21 video. That guy knew his plane!
I love the history behind the War Thunder Vids, it is reminding me of the old day jingle videos!
I fell in love with the Vought Crusader because of an old anime, Area 88, where the main character flew one and even dodged a manmade obstacle (A giant steel grid deployed from undergroud designed to destroy or clip low flying jets) by folding the wings up. I thought that shit was so damn cool as a kid. Still do lol
My father flew the F-8 for the Marines. Loved it. Been confused about the naval aircraft supersonic thing. The F4D Skyray flew and reached the fleet before the F-8 (actually, the F-8 was kinda it's replacement) and was a mach 1+ fighter.
I remember seeing an interview with a Vietnam era F4 pilot saying that the F4 was given gun pods because they were trying to dogfight gun-equipped MiGs with missiles. He said it was like fighting in a phone box when the other guy has a knife and you have a spear. The spear is nice, but sometimes you just need a knife.
I'm pretty much subbed for the annual WT videos. Can't say I'm disappointed!
Jingles, old bean, when you're talking pre-1962 Navy aircraft, you gotta include the suffix. There's both an F4F (Wildcat) and an F4U (Corsair). F6U Pirate, F7U Cutlass, and F8U Crusader. The Crusader was renumbered in 1962/63 with the USAF numbering system we all know now.
Where’s the other flying with folded wings story!? I feel robbed!
Cool stuff! I didn't know Vought made a jet (or rather three) but it's a pretty cool one. The one thing I did know them for never shows up in these kind of games; the Vought XF5U, also known as the flying flapjack. It was a plane built for WWII, but wasn't finished in time. It used a combination of a very oval shaped wing and a pair of huge propellers to reduce lift induced drag by brakeing up the wingtip vortexes. It apparently performed at least decently, especially for use with carriers. I just want to see it make it into a game like War Thunder.
literally the only reason im subbed to this channel
Fun Fact: The F-8 Crusader was the first main aircraft used by Shin Kazama, a Japanese mercenary fighter ace in the manga/anime series "Area 88." Area 88 is one of the three first manga that was translated into English to be published in North America. It is about a story of a mercenary fighter pilot, Shin Kazama, who is fighting for the Kingdom of Asran, a fictional country located within the Middle East, in which is in a middle of a war. Shin also uses a F-5 Freedom Fighter/Tiger II and then a F-20A Tigershark later on throughout the series. His aircraft has a distinctive blue and white color scheme and a unique emblem on the tail, a head of a unicorn with flaming hair. The setting takes place around the late 1970s to the mid 1980s. There has been an OVA, an arcade and counsel game, and a 12-episode anime adaption of Area 88. It is very interesting since I believe it is one of the first manga that contains military jet aircraft. It is also one of my favorite anime/manga series. You should check out this series if you hadn't.
I have a cousin who was flying Navy jets in Vietnam. He started out on the F-8 and he always said it was his favorite between it and the F-4.
One of my favorite aviation memoirs, Commander John Moore's _The Wrong Stuff: Flying on the Edge of Disaster,_ includes a lengthy section on the flight testing of the F7U Gutless, of which Moore was hapless enough to be assigned the carrier trials. That went about as well as you would expect.
During Moore's career, he found himself entangled in pretty much every stupid thing the Navy tried to do with jet aircraft. F7U carrier quals? Check. Testing out the insane semi-automated nuclear bombing run setup on the A3J Vigilante? Check (and it nearly planted him in downtown Columbus, Ohio). Flex-Deck (a truly ridiculous idea that involved making aircraft carrier flight decks bouncy and soft so the jets wouldn't need to have landing gear)? Once again, check. If it was incredibly dumb and the Navy was doing it with jets in the late '50s and early '60s, John Moore was involved.
I never liked War Thunder, but when Mr. Jingles posts a video of it, I know there's a history lesson coming and those are what I come for.
My cousin flew the F8 and when he spoke of it his eyes lit up and a silly grin appeared.... he being a long-time fighter pilot with "the best toy taxpayers could buy" !
Love your content jingles! Please do continue telling us the history of aircraft/ships and tanks!
Annual war thunder video, with fly daily in it, a guy I remember watching years ago. Dope.
That’s not the actual phlydaily though. He hasn’t used that name for a while
I love these historical videos and the upload schedule. Keep up the fantastic work Jingles.
Haha, i was watching old clips of Area 88, and then Jingles uploads are video about the f-8 crusader! Convenient!
After producing those two duds, Grumman seriously got their act together and started cranking out some superb aircraft, not least of which the A-6 and the mighty, mighty Tomcat.
From what I've read, this plane was universally loved by its pilots.
Interesting. My father-in-law and brother-in-law both worked for what had been Vought. Both spent significant parts of their careers working on the A-7.
Your intro using War Thunders old Hanger music hits hard Overlord, i like it but it hits hard
12:00 Two characters in the Area 88 anime do that quite happily against the Fangs of the Desert defence. It takes less than a second to fold the wings.
Area 88 was quite prone to video-game-made-up-by-ten-year-olds flying.
Loved this video! I watch Phly religiously and jingles too!
Sadly I can only give a like once so I cannot express my urge for more WarThunder videos enough
The first anime I saw was area 88,the MC flies one of this and I fell in love with the plane
"PhlyDaily is a good ______"
- Chuckles intensify
I love the fact that this bloody thing flew with the wings folded. I'm waiting for them to put the F15 eagle in
i think that was the best flying ive seen on a jingles war thunder video
Always enjoy these War Thunder videos. They seem to bring out the inner historian in you the most.
I remember that game, I was ColonelCooney in the F-100D. I remember asking Creedude about the F8U, since I'm trying to grind it. Not too long after, I got pilot sniped passing by an AI IL-28.
Howdy!
The main problem with Vought’s early jets, and indeed many of the other early Naval jets, were the absolute dogshit Westinghouse jet engines that powered them. It was once remarked that a Westinghouse jet engine puts out about as much heat as the same company’s toasters.
Also, the F8U’s wing in-game DOES lift up if you deploy landing flaps.
You know Jingles you could do more of these WT videos... i'd be happy with 3 per year for a start. :P
Excellent flying. Great video. Next I'll mention the problems here:
1. Oh, right, there are none.
Oh hell yeah, another war thunder video. I'd love to see more than one a year
I always look forward for a Jingles WarThunder video. Not because I think WarShit is a good game, no sir, but for the lovely history lesson!
lol was looking up the f-8 and found this gem on the XF8U-3 Crusader III's page.. the crusader III was passed over in favor of the f-4 phantom-
"NASA pilots flying at NAS Patuxent River routinely intercepted and defeated U.S. Navy Phantom IIs in mock dogfights, until complaints from the Navy put an end to the harassment."
I'm pretty sure the special wing is modelled in WT, it just works when you put out landing flaps essentially. Today's pilot had run out of fuel and didn't put flaps out to extend his flight time, hence also landing not quite on the airfield
I've always thought this was a pretty airplane. I read that, ironically, the Crusader had a tendency for the guns to jam if you were pulling any G when you fired. That was one reason it actually got a lot more kills with missiles than guns.
I confused the F-8 with the A-7 a bunch when I was younger. The A-7 was basically a smaller, slower, but carrying more bombs version of the F-8, but young me just thought they rounded the nose and called it a day.
How many years has it been.. I quite can't believe that this game is still chugging along.
Another fun fact about the F-8. The F-8 airframe was tweaked a bit to become that A-7 attack fighter, affectionately known as the SLUF or Short Little Ugly F*cker.
Thanks Jingles. An enjoyable history lesson.
Jingles giving another review of a plane in WT. Absolutely fantastic. It's too bad he only does this once a year.
It brings me back to the day when he used to do almost daily reviews on tanks in WOT.
Jingles. Please bring back WarThunder
Thanks Jingles. I enjoyed that!
Good video narration, Paul. Really interesting.
Fun fact: The F-8 actually had a new prototype version competing for the interceptor role with the F-4 called the F8U-3, which would have been armed with Sparrows and sidewinders, with plans to add guns later. The Phantom won out though, so the Crusader 3 was relegated to working for NASA.
Another year, wow!
Excellent review of the F7. They were being phased out as I phased in...
The first serially produced and used jet in US Air Force was, I believe, P-80 Shooting Star. It was used in Korean War and at the start it was pretty good. However, it was while fighting piston engine attack aircrafts such as Il-2. Even Mustangs did fine at first, of course... However, when MiG-15 entered the Korean War, it was game over for P-80. The MiG simply slaughtered them! The situation was changed only after a rushed introduction of F-86 Sabre that could parry the MiGs.
always enjoy a good War thunder aircraft video, wouldn't be too bad if Jingles covered more air craft content and tbh war thunder does that pretty good
Been waiting all year for this one
I love the history lesson that accompanied this
