The model of the RF-8 Crusader that is piloted by Commander Ecker contains an infrared search & track "blister" (in the film seen as a bump protruding from the top of the aircraft's nose). This is incorrect.
Only model fighter variants of the F-8 Crusader had a "blister" that protruded from the top of the nose cone. It was a device used to track and lock onto enemy aircraft during aerial-combat.
No reconnaissance versions of the Crusader (known as the RF-8) ever had a infra-red search and track blister. The job of the RF-8 was to strictly take aerial photographs, and never to engage in aerial dog fighting.
