Trully unexpected project Spinners although this aircraft never entered service!

I didn't even know such a plane (well, more like design) actually existed.It looks like a cruise missile.The SEA camo and the ΠA markings remind me of the Greek D Daggers, very nice!

What surprised me about the Thunderwarrior is that the designation XF-103 was allocated in 1951 and that the basics of the 'tandem-turboramjet' propulsion system go back even further!
