In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the sleek lines of a North Dakota Air National Guard Northrop F-89D Scorpion jet fighter take center stage. The Scorpion, with the serial number 53-2517 and belonging to the 178th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, is shown at a Naval Air Station, with a backdrop of a Navy A-1H Skyraider (BuNo 137624) adding an intriguing contrast. The Northrop F-89D Scorpion was a significant aircraft in the 1950s, introducing an all-rocket armament system with fifty-two Mk 4 Folding-Fin Aerial Rockets (FFAR) in the forward 1-3 of the wing-tip fuel-weapon pods and 308 US gallons of fuel in the rear 2-3. This innovative design provided the Scorpion with impressive firepower and extended range, making it a formidable force in the skies. The history of this F-89D Scorpion is rich and varied. It began its service life with the USAF 11th Fighter Interceptor Squadron (515th Air Defense Group) in 1955. Later, it was transferred to the North Dakota Air National Guard 178th Fighter Interceptor Squadron in 1958. In 1960, it was assigned to the Vermont Air National Guard 134th Fighter Interceptor Squadron. This photograph, taken circa 1959, captures a moment in time when the North Dakota Air National Guard's Scorpion was at the height of its capabilities. The North Dakota Air National Guard's Northrop F-89D Scorpion stands as a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the 1950s aviation industry.
