Mach 1 Skyray
ANOTHER F-4? What is that, four different airframes?
Hmph.
I wish the Navy had a model designation system that was a little more sensibe?
You can sorta see a bit of the near future A-6 Intruder in this one, tho that's a totally different manufacturer.
Well, now you know how to take off in a Skyray, and you can go supersonic.

Sometime do a search on WW2 M3. You'll get the M3 half-track, the M3 light tank and the M3 Medium tank. Oh...and there was probably an M3 light truck, M3 medium truck and an M4 heavy truck. :-)
F4D= Fourth fighter model made by Douglas
F4F= Fourth fighter model made by Grumman
F4H= Fourth fighter model made by McDonnell
F4U= Fourth fighter model made by Chance Vought
Makes perfect sense to me. And it worked, except for those easily confused AF pussies who demanded a separate number for each aircraft.
But for me, the Skyray was the sexiest jet I had ever seen when I was 10. Still have a t-shirt of it, and it has only been tied as sexiest by the F-4 Phantom II, IMHO.
Nut my all-time favorite is the P-61....
I fondly remember building the Comet Models version of the Ford. Ah, the joys of printwood.
