A number of photos of one of the McDonnell F3H Demon models from NACA 12 ft Langley Low Speed Wind Tunnel ltest #98 LAL 64232. This was a 1/10 scale model of the XF3H-1 in clean condition with some outboard stall vanes. From July 1950. Credit: NASA

A Few Words–Please Read
Postimg.org had a registry problem about a year ago and they had to move to Postimg.cc.
All photos are still available; but, the "CC" must be subtituted for "ORG" in the corresponding URL address to get to the proper place. (Hold cursor over link to get URL address or change in address line.) Postimg.org becomes Postimg.cc.
Also... any URLs with the prefix "old." need to have that removed completely as well. IE, old.postimg.org/ should be amended to postimg.cc
Let me know if I need to fix any links beyond the dozens that I have already fixed.

About Me
My name is Ron Downey. I am a retired Aeronautical Engineer who worked for McDonnell Aircraft and McDonnell Douglas Corp for 40 years and collected many photos, info and brochures of their products. While the F-4 is my favorite, I have many other MDC items and these will be scanned and presented here. In addition, I have been an aviation historian for most of my adult life and I have amassed a large amount of info over my 50+ years of collecting and will be bringing that here also. My aim is to bring aviation material (Photos, articles; etc) to this blog before it is lost; but, not in-depth explanations as any good search engine can be used for that purpose. I may be contacted at: aviationarchives(at)gmail.com
Copyright and Photo Credits
As all of this info was originally for my use only in order to build plastic scale models, I never paid too much attention to copyrights or proper photo credits. Therefore, if something is not credited correctly, please let me know and I will be happy to delete or properly credit the material. (I have in my possession all the items and original material and these are all new scans, except where noted.) All photos and info are credited to McDonnell Douglas/The Boeing Company unless otherwise noted. Feel free to use any of this info with the credit of Ron Downey via Aviation Archives. I can be reached at: aviationarchives(at)gmail.com.

This model is a breathtaking work of art. I cringe to think of what misfortune may have descended upon it after it outlived its usefulness. Maybe it is still stored somewhere. I can only hope.
Thanks - I’m pretty sure that is the spin-test model rather than a low-speed wind tunnel test model per se. Note that it has positionable control surfaces and spring-wire landing gear.
I’m pretty sure that is the spin-test model rather one designed for the low-speed wind tunnel per se (the spin tunnel was vertical rather than horizontal). Note the positionable control surfaces and the spring-wire “landing gear”.
