SCORPION
Designed as a night
fighter replacement for the P-61 the F-89 first
flew in 1948. However early versions experienced considerable
problems with engines and other systems compounded by
structural problems with wings. The first major production version
was the F-89D which entered service in 1954.
The last variant was
the F-89J which has the distinction of being
the first and only aircraft to fire a live nuclear anti-aircraft missile.
Over 1,000 were built
and they remained in active service with
the USAF until
1959, when they were relegated to Air National Guard
service, remaining
there until 1970.
We offer two CD's covering
most variants of this typical early jet
fighter.
