XF-108 Rapier (NA-236)

Image

Cancelled twice, stake driven through heart
finally in 1959, was to have been an escort
fighter for the XB-70.

A lot of the technology including the engines
went on to be used in the Blackbird.....

Yet another DELTA aircraft.

Cigar For Mackrick!



I think if I were ever to own and fly an
aircraft, it would Have to be a Seabee!
Here in Maine we just have so many lakes,
rivers, ponds, streams and coastline, it
would be a natural!

Good enuff for JB!
