yes i think our F-8H carried the AIM 9B :link why did you asked? the 9B served with the F8 in USN starting in the 1950's but i think we got ours for our F-5s but was also used later for our F-8 in the 1970s. please correct me if im wrong. the AIM-9B is a very old/limited sidewinder. if we still have stocks and is in very good condition, i think it could still be upgraded or rebuilt. hopefully something useful like 9N/P. |

The USN markings on those F8's are painted on when they made the movie about the cuban crisis sometime back. It starred Kevin Costner can't remember the title though. :aberet: |

Sad part is that is , it was never replaced. It was retired with out a replacement, the F-5s were not replacements since they were operating along side the F-8s.
