Vought XF8U-3 Crusader III (BuNo 146341) parked next to the Vought F-8 Crusader awaiting fleet delivery. This was the second XF8U-3 built and had about 50 hours of flight testing by the time the Navy cancelled the program. All three XF8U-3s were turned over to NASA for further testing.

Date: 1959.
