A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Well, the F2A was the Brewster Buffalo, and the F2F was a Grumman biplane, so it's entirely possible the F2O is something equally implausible. Could it possibly be a typo and the F-20 Tigershark? I know the aggressor squadrons used F-5's, but I don't know if they flew any Tigersharka.
ReplyDeleteAssuming that's an Oh not a zero, possibly something from Lockheed -- but the Navy, for whatever reason, grouped as many as six or seven manufacturers under one letter. Dunno.
ReplyDeleteThe FO was known in the Army as the P-38, if that's any help.
ReplyDeleteDeadstick, Lockheed is correct. Did a little looking and the O was solely designated to Lockheed. However, the manufacturer designator was not required by the Navy, so...
ReplyDeleteOn that note, the Navy didn't use O as a type/role designator either.
And no, it doesn't help much yet...but that's the game.
Perhaps the F-35 "Turkey" or the P-58 "Chain Lightning"? After that, I'm outta ideas.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually gonna guess the F-35 too. I can't think of any other naval fighters that Lockheed made besides the P-38 and that, so it would logically be the second in the series.
ReplyDeleteCenterpuke and bmq: Correct!
ReplyDeleteAn argument could be made that it would have been the F2V, as the R6O and the R7O had their manufacturer's codes changed to "V" (and the C-130 was designated the R8V).
