Douglas F3D Skyknight

First flown on 23 March 1948, the F3D was one of the first purpose built jet night fighters.  The Skyknight served with distinction in Korea escorting B-29s on night missions when the F-94 Starfire proved unsatisfactory.

The Skynight also served as an early ECM aircraft in Vietnam from 1965-1969.
