About the F-8J Crusader
The F-8 Crusader was a supersonic carrier-based fighter known for its variable-incidence wing, which helped provide a practical angle of approach during low-speed carrier landings. The F-8J update included high-lift changes intended to reduce approach speed and improve carrier operations.
