Your Sunday Morning Jet Noise

F-102:


From the looks of that cockpit, over-the-shoulder visibility was pretty poor. It wasn't important, for the -102 was built to shoot down bombers. It wasn't a dogfighter.

I 'think' it could pretty much run away from any threat... and you're exactly right. Specific mission design!

Sweet aircraft...and it led right into the F-106, which was a Goddess of Interceptors.

what amazes me still is Geo W B in fact was able to fly one of these - not much and not for long but still... I had rides in these and the situational awareness required to stay a step ahead of the aircraft was scary
