In your post you mention the F8U.

Obviously, that's a Vought product.
A typo or was NAA somehow involved with it?
If NAA (or now Boeing) was involved, how about the F-8s successor on the LTV production line, the A-7?

Off the top of my head, the only NAA/Vought connection I can think of is LTV's Dallas plant was the old NAA factory.

I went back an looked at the list again and - if it's a typo - it's not my own. The drawing number was "CV21-200001" and the title was "Inbd Profile - Class VF Airplane F8U-2". No idea why it's there.

Well worth a watch for anyone interested in this amazing collection

Thanks for sharing that! I hadn't seen it yet.

For anyone who's interested in a bit more about the collection, it was also discussed on the podcasts EAA’s The Green Dot and The Damcasters, a presentation during AirVenture called Saving Warbirds From Incineration, and an article from the Warbirds of America.
