- Designed after the Second World War, the Douglas F3D Skyknight was meant to be the defender of the American carrier group after dark. The ambitious design sought to use all of the lessons learned from night fighter design and tactics in the Second World War, and produced the first specialized all-weather jet fighter.

VMF 513 was the virual unit I created some years ago playing F 16 (Falcon 4.0 ) ...I loved the name: "flying nightmares" ...
The F 3D was also the last plastic model I painted from my 1/72 collection of US Navy aircraft (all with folded wings).....
Anchors away my boy.....
I always liked the F3D. Given how essential internal radars poved to be for fighter aircraft, the F3D is highly admirerable for being one of the first jets to feature one.
"Not a pound for air to ground" just released a video on this plane 5 hours ago. How do y'all always manage to do that?
Pure coincidence. Our article on the Skynight, on which this video is based, came out a year ago:
plane-encyclopedia.com/cold-war/douglas-f3d-skyknight/
great video!
Something in the back of my mind tells me some of them were even used in the Vietnam War...
They were.
the best of the video were the illustrations hohoho!!
How can you call the F3D "ungainly?" It was pretty much a typical straight wing jet fighter in appearance.
Beauty is subjective. The wide profile was to carry a vacuum tube airborne radar. The F-35 has a similar profile
When people use War Thunder graphics in their their videos, it just seems so cheap.
Does DCS have the Skyknight?
You make a video yourself, so I can comment on that...
Dude has some nerves
The US Navy did not keep as much video of it as other planes at that time
Hey, Not a pound for.air to.ground also has a video on this.
Yes, how do they manage to release these at the same time? It's a bit comical
