Description

This Vought F-8E Crusader represents USN VF-162 “Hunters” aircraft AH200 aboard USS Oriskany during the Vietnam War in 1966. The markings tie it to a carrier-based combat deployment, making it a strong period piece from one of the US Navy’s best-known single-seat fighters.

A striking addition to any Vietnam-era naval aviation collection, especially alongside other carrier air wing subjects. Ideal for display and for collectors who enjoy aircraft linked to specific squadrons, ships and wartime service.
