Yup, only in service for ~15 years...yet more than 2,000 manufactured, and at the peak in the late 50s, nearly 1400 were operational in 28 active bomb wings. The "good old days" ☢️ Was just down in Pueblo CO at the Weisbrod Aviation Museum admiring one of these last month. Impressive to stand next to one even today.

Totally agree John! would be cool if XPlane added a JATO animation on takeoff...that would be awesome to watch!

January 9, 20197 yr Beauty. Tinker AFB had (and still has) a display version of this next to I-40. It's been there since I was very young (and I'm 41 now). I always loved looking at it when we passed the base.
January 9, 20197 yr Magnificent. May I ask what scenery? Harald Geyer Gründer der Messerschmitt Freunde Dresden v. V.
January 10, 20197 yr I don't usually comment on jet shots (I generally like prop planes better) but I just came back to this and have to say this is one GREAT shot. Dan George (woodhick)Check out Greenbrier Aero Club, the VA for and about the GA pilot.
January 10, 20197 yr Author Thanks Harald and Dan! The scenery is a ortho scenery of Iceland. Regards Nils
