The Vought F-8 Crusader is perhaps best remembered for having many nicknames. Thanks to its supersonic speed and how it could safely takeoff even with its wings folded, pilots liked calling it "the sports car of the Navy." Deck crew members fondly referred to the aircraft as "The Gator" because the engine's air intakes were not very high above the ground and had the power to suck in a man. | Dark Documentaries
