Hunters forever!

As mad as a box of frogs.

Rockwell Valkyrie SR.1's - No.543 Squadron, RAF Strike Command, 1969

The more you read about the Valkyrie, and in the context of the era into which it was born, the more you realise that the right decision (i.e. to cancel) was made. If the B-58A never reached 10 years front-line service, essentially due to high operating costs, then the B-70 would have delighted the bean-counters even less. Nevertheless, it was an amazing response to the requirement and a technological (and aerodynamical) tour de force. I'm off to download it - thanks for bringing it to the 'Strike Fighters' community FC.

Love the F-80's guys. It does have a certain charm about it doesn't it?

Convair F-102A - EC2/11, "Vosges", Armée de l'air, 1962 Lovely Hunter Ant. It brings back memories of the Matchbox kit. How I wish we had the T.7!
