Two magazines („The Aeroplane“ and „Flugwelt“) mention a Chance Vought XF9U as an further development of the F8U with big radar in the nose and air intakes similar to the F-105. Is it a hoax or a secret project?
Who is able to help?

Was suppose to be a counter to the Russian JS III heavy tank. It weighed in at 65 tons with a 120mm gun. Although it did make it into service in small numbers it was a rarity.
I apologize for not knowing exactly which programs these are associated with ( I can't vouch for the filenames though LHA-R seems pretty obvious though the final design doesn't resemble any of these much).

I was wondering if anyone has any more information on the version of the Tomcat II shown in the image below? It's obviously stealthier than the standard version and has inlets similar to the F-22, but I was wondering if anyone here has all three views or any renderings or pictures of models of...

The Mohawk (OV-1) Society has an illustration, originally in their newsletter, of Grumman's COIN derivative of the Mohawk on their website, though it takes a spot of digging to find it. I did copy it and will be glad to share (I cake it we can't attach picture files directly here). It looks...

I want to add the Northrop-Grumman ALF. Pictures from Air&Cosmos Nº1482...

I'd really like to learn more about the F-4J avionics, including the APG-59 radar and the VTAS helmet mounted sight.
Here's two shots of the APG-59 radar; the first is a McDonnell-Douglas provided promotional picture, showing a prototype radar, the second picture is an operational radar...
