You're referring to the XF8U-3 Crusader III.The XF8U-1 aricraft were the original Crusader prototypes, F8U-1 the original production aircraft, and the F8U-2 production aircraft were the Crusader II. It's the pre-1963 naval designation system.I prefer the Crusader III to the F-106, but there's no way a prototype aircraft is going to be procured. F-106 (with or without Orenda 13) would make sense for the Arrow mission, especially if NORAD integration is a factor.Was SAGE deployed in Canada as well?
