  2. Indeed they do. Those airplanes were optimized for high altitude as part of the RB-57 program.

  3. Yep, doubled (roughly) the wing length from 64 feet to 122 feet. But they're still using the old T-33 motors... :-)

  4. Old NFO, I think you mean TF-33 engines. T-33 engines were Allison J-33 engines and the RCAF T-33 used the Rolls Royce Nene-10.
