Description
A Cold War What Might Have Been: A conceptual operational USAF/North American Aviation F-108A Rapier advanced interceptor from the 5th FIS prepares to take on fuel from a KC-135 tanker. The F-108A only reached the full-scale mockup stage and, unfortunately the program was canceled in 1959 by the Eisenhower administration attempting balance the budget. Shortsightedness prevented a giant leap in aircraft technology.
