    Always thought this was a neat looking plane. Doesn't seem to get much mention for some reason. Guess the Phantom just kind of overshadowed it in Vietnam.

    Built over 5,000 Phantoms and only about 150 Vigilantes.

    Took up a LOT of space on a carrier.

    Huge complicated plane. The bomb/fuel tank 'tunnel' did not always work well.

    Was the tunnel ever actually used in anger? If I remember right it was really only for nukes?.

    Still a cool/unique feature
