Someone asked about a refueling receptacle back by the tail on the
F-8. First, receptacles are on the forebody, not at the back end.
Secondly, the F-8, being a Navy airplane, has a probe, not a
receptacle. It's on the left side, just below the cockpit, I think.

According to my F-8 Servicing Diagrams, there's an Engine Oil Tank
filler in teh upper aft fuselage, at the forward edge of the fin.
Perhaps the placard's associated with that?

The page is gone, but my memory of the placard agrees with that
assement.
