caption_attribution_description: English: A former U.S. Air Force Northrop F-89J Scorpion (s/n 52-2129) at the Hampton Air Power Park, Virginia (USA), in 2007.
context_page_description: The Northrop F-89 Scorpion was an American all-weather, twin-engined interceptor aircraft built during the 1950s, the first jet-powered aircraft designed for that role from the outset to enter service. Though its straight wings limited its performance, it was among the first United States Air Force jet fighters equipped with guided missiles and notably the first combat aircraft armed with air-to-air nuclear weapons.
