This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

In a what was nearly a sure thing in 1952-54 period the USN had NAA develop a carrier version of the F-100A Super Sabre.
The navalised SS would of had dual main wheels, a triangle shaped arrestor hook, a different extended nose intake , 1 less M39 gun, folding wing tips and other features to operate from a carrier.
It came close to a mock up and flying stage.
I feel im glad it never happened as i feel early models would like USAF ones killed many aviators on the ramp, let alone if they failed a hard burner light on the cat...
