Default DOUGLAS F3D SKYNIGHT HELP - 2 attachments (1/2)

Hi Jim,
Did you talk to Tony Chong about it at the show yesterday? He should have
some contacts at our other half in Bethpage. The other guy would have been
Craig Kaston, but I didn't see him.

Interesting shots. First thing that crept to mind was "early
competitor to the EA-6A/B". The F3D (or F-10 after 1962) was used in
the EW-role for some time by the USMC in Vietnam, under the
designation EF-10B. They retired them in 1970, around the same time
the EA-6A and B came around.

Good Morning Ron,
That's the first thing I thought...given the larger cockpit area, this was
an EW/ECM proposal. And actually the last F3D/F-10 was retired from the
Navy in 1978. Thanks for your thoughts !!!
