The test pilots said it was too twitchy for the average air force "driver", especially at low speed and landing. It is still gorgeous and I look at her and sigh, every time I go to Wright-Patterson.

It was an ambitious innovation .

My dad was a weights and balancing engineer on prototype #2. They did it without titanium or computers, sliderules and a desktop calculator.

Yes I saw it in Ohio! Beautiful jet . Imagine it being built today with the latest materials and technology. Just for our protection, should have a small fleet of these let’s say 15 or 20 of them.

I also hope that this will be considered in the near future.
