The name Banshee comes from a Celtic mythological she-demon where when the wailing of the banshee was heard, it was a harbinger of death. Despite the terrible creature this plane was named upon, it is actually a beautiful jet fighter. The F2H “Banshee” was a military carrier-based jet fighter aircraft used by the United States Navy from 1948 to 1959. 250 F2H-3 were built.
