• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Overview History Discussion
These textures are intended for use with the F-8E(FN)/F-8J Crusader by Royale French Navy Design. They represent an F-8J BuNo n°150302 assigned to Cdr. D.J. (Taco) Bell, Commanding Officer of Light Photographic Squadron Sixty Three (VFP-63) "Eyes of the Fleet" in 1979. During the 1970s the squadron was stationed at NAS Miramar, California -- aka "Fightertown USA". The unit was responsible for training Reserve F-8 and RF-8 pilots after F-8s were phased out of fleet squadrons. VFP-63 F-8Js were used to provide familiarization to F-8 pilots who would then transition to the RF-8G.
