F-8“十字军战士”战斗机是美国钱斯.沃特公司20世纪50年代末设计的,是美国海军第一架真正意义上的超声速舰载机,,也是最后一架舰载单发动机战斗机。由于这是美国最后一种以机炮为主要武器的战斗机,故此通常称F-8的飞行员为“最后的枪手”(TheLast of the Gunfighters)。该型战斗机的操作非常复杂,飞行员要想精通掌握全部操作技术非常困难。投入使用后,由于F-8飞机的发动机、起落架和液压系统可靠性较差,再加上飞行员失误、气象等因素的影响,使得该型机的事故率较高。克里夫.贾金斯(Cliff Judkins)是美国海军陆战队第323战斗机中队(VMF-323)的飞行员,一次在执行从美国本土至日本的作战部署任务中,快要结束与加油机的空中加油时,其驾驶的F-8战斗机突然起火燃烧。克里夫启动弹射坐椅逃生失败,冒险手动打开座舱盖跳伞逃生,但降落伞却无法完全打开,整个人直接坠落海里。最终,历经九死一生的克里夫竟然奇迹般地生还,创造了F-8飞行事故的一段神话。
F-8 “Crusader ” fighter is the United States Chance .Water company designed in the late 1950s, is the United States Navy’s first true supersonic carrier-based aircraft, but also the last one shipborne single Engine fighter Since this is the last fighter aircraft in the United States that uses machine guns as their main weapon, the pilot of the F-8 is often called The Last of the Gunfighters. The operation of this type of fighter plane is very complicated, and it is very difficult for pilots to master all the operating techniques proficiently. Put into use, due to the F-8 aircraft engines, landing gear and hydraulic system reliability is poor, coupled with pilot errors, weather and other factors, making the machine a higher accident rate. Cliff Judkins, a pilot of the 323nd Fighter Squadron of the U.S. Marine Corps (VMF-323), is nearing the end of the tanker’s aerial refueling mission in combat operations from the United States to Japan When it was driving a F-8 fighter suddenly set fire to burn. Cliff launched ejector escape escape failed to open the canopy to manually open the parachute escape, but the parachute can not be fully opened, the whole person directly into the sea. In the end, Cliff survived nine deaths miraculously survived, creating a myth of the F-8 flight accident.
