The Chance - Vought F7U Cutlass was a unique airplane which first entered service in 1952. It had two engines and a tailless swept wing configuration. When parked, he nose of the F7U sat very high off the deck and the long nose gear tube was known to have occasionally punched through the cockpit on rough landings.

This sad example, at the Pueblo museum, may never be restored. Very few of the type exist today. Some of the components on this hulk - notably the air intake scoops - are made of wood. Nobody knows exactly why but some have said that this aircraft may have once been part of a mockup.

The are lying nearby, but in poor shaped due to their having been separated from the aircraft by an acetylene torch.
