tous Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 The A-3 Skywarrior had a hook. The RB-66 was one of the primary reconnaissance platforms during Vietnam. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) I had to look that up, but it appears that the Air Force version had ejection seats, the Navy version didn't. Even though it was another fine product from Douglas Aircraft, the A-3/B-66 was a mediocre aircraft. But, it had a hook!

gwalchmai Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 The film Bat-21 shows the crew ejecting out of their EB-66. It's a movie, of course, but at least they simulate ejecting from a simulated plane that's been simulated shot down by a simulated SAM. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the USAF models did have popperoutters, but the USN models did not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C_Hallbert Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I still think the most beautiful fighter was the Spitfire. The lines are simply amazing. I am sorry, but you are mistaken. It is in fact the third most beautiful Fighter Aeroplane. The first two are provided in order of aesthetic appeal.
