once the mission went away, so did the rationale for the plane. It was not adaptable, similar to a one trick pony. Thus obsolete.

Again it adapted well to the low level high speed penetration mission! Gen Lemay's statement for getting rid of it was he could operate six wings of B-52's for the cost of operating two wings of B-58's! He wasn't in favor of its replacement either, the FB-111A which soldered on in SAC until SAC's end and then converted to the F-111G and several were sold to Australia to the end of the F-111 flying days!

Specially, these 2 verses:

بگو بدونم یکی یه دونه ای بلا

یاد میاد اون روزها اون شب ها

اونقده بودی اینقده شدی ناقلا

کوچولو بودی بزرگ شدی ماشاله

I like this shot of F9F's at a time when the Navy was repainting its aircraft from Blue to Gray/White. These to show aircraft of the same squadron in both paint schemes.

The FAA? I doubt they'd have a say. Luckily our combat jets are a bit more environmentally-friendly now. Even the military has a part to play in saving the planet

While I don't normally think of a Corsair as a Cold War A/C, they were in USN & USMC use until at least late 1955, and here is one repainted in the new Navy Gray/White colors
