Scotty,

I think most would find the F-8 to have been a better fighter aircraft
than the P-51.

Industry moved on to jets. The Mustang (among a few others) still
represents the epitome of piston-engine airplane design. Plus... chicks

[C'mon, George, that's not fair.  The F-8 didn't even hit the drawing boards until '52 and it didn't enter service unitl '57... besides, it's not prop-driven.  Apples & oranges........  <Marv>     ]
