Glyn I was being more than a little sarcastic. Its an interesting plane but I'm not sure if it was really practicle. That said The airframe appears to have had alot going for it and was let down by its rather unusual powerplant situation. I'd honestly like to see what something modern built along the lines of a 52 or 36 would turn out like as a strategic bomber. I think with todays turbofans you could have a hugepayload carrier that is just subsonic with long range and inflight refueling with an amazing ceiling very inexpesnively..... Sure a bomb truck like taht would need air superiority but isn't that what a raptor is supposed to grant anyways?
