Here’s a foursome of early Navy jet fighters in the air over the Naval Air Test Center in Maryland ca. 1950. ID the planes and win an Internet.

Panther, Banshee, Cutlass and that top one is mystery to me.

Right on the first three. Funny you should mention the other one....

I was actually just scrolling back to that post but thought that might be cheating so I let it go...

Far more recent formation from NAS Patuxent is not surprisingly a good deal easier:

Not enough Iron Works in that picture. :(

I’ll just identify the image instead:
World of Warplanes US Tier 10 planes

Is that real? Did they really use this image? I’ve never played.

They didn’t use this image, but IIRC from when I played it, that’s pretty much exactly the top tier US planes.
Decent game, but if you’re looking for an awesome online dog fighting game, just get warthunder.

The Cutlass is so neat, but so weird on the ground/deck

Not surprisingly, they had a lot of problems with nose gear failure. Now that I look at that picture, I wonder if that influenced the variable-incidence wing on the F-8. “If you can’t raise the nose, raise the wing.”

I wouldn’t be surprised. The F8 was a cool airplane. Especially the supercritical wing testbed NASA made
